If it's the actual holes in the hinges and not just worn bushings there
are a couple ways to repair it. One would be to buy new hinges and
replace them. The other is to use a welder and weld the worn areas and
then grind them back to shape.
Make sure that you use new pins and bushings to size the holes if you
weld them up.
