If it’s recessed on the inside to accommodate a short jack, I’d fill it and put in a longer jack if you can find one that fits.

I just did something like this…..I glued a thin block on the inside to add support because the hole area body thickness was thin like yours and seemed like this problem would happen again due to poor design. Then, as Ian suggested, I filled the other side with epoxy flush with body hole and glued to the new interior block, creating a solid, thicker assembly to drill, as Ian suggests, a longer output jack.

Thanks guys ! I’ll definitly add wood thickness and use a longer jack then !
