    The proper job is to strip it back but it's also very tedious and time-consuming. You could sand down and use ESP Primer which you just wipe on and it drys out tacky, ready to receive fresh paint.

    To repair the Hinge cut out. Get a very Sharp Chiesel and clean up the edges by removing a little more of the frame.
    Then just buy or make a slip to fit into the cut out nice and neat. Then when ready Glue and pin it into place.
    Use a filler to fill the joints and pin heads. Sand to a nice finish and paint. It will never be 100% perfect but if done neatly you won't even notice it.

    Yes just use wood Glue and a few panel pins to keep it in place as it sets.
    Then just punch the heads slightly below the surface and fill with filler.

    You can buy timber slips in all kinds of shapes and sizes in most diy stores.

    you can get one 50 or 60 or 70 mm wide and about 5 mm thick.
    Just check the measurement of the Dept of the hinge cut out and buy a slip slightly larger. Then using a good sharp chisel trim the hinge cut out to suit the slip. Then fit the slip as suggested above.
