I wouldn't recommend a non-pliable chemical solution in a close proximity screw hole in what is most likely a finger-jointed extremely soft pine jamb at all.
With what the OP stated desire for a quick solution , he'd probably screw into the unhardened / uncured epoxy and never ever be able to remove that screw ever again.
If it was a 200 year old door and this was the 7th strike plate in rotten old wood with very little of the original wood solid fiber construct left then epoxy might make more sense. A #6 screw hole ? I'd want something soft and pliable in there.
