Use a Toothpick
Most people don’t expect this solution, but using a toothpick can help fix your strap button. First, unscrew the strap button screw. Once it’s out of the hole, use a thin toothpick and place it in the hole. The toothpick acts as something the screw can grab onto and the thread in the hole.

Why do acoustic guitars only have one strap button?
Because the body’s so big, it’s actually more comfortable to tie the end around the headstock than it is to have a knob at the top. Hi! Sig Retired. One part of the strap goes on the “konb”, and the other part is wrapped around the headstock (before the nut, under the strings).
