Already searched for and couldnt find anything quite the same.

I took my bindings off my Line Afterbangs to redo the graphics and i was planning to just put them right back on at the end of the process but my friend says it might now be safe/they may tear out. Is this a problem i should worry about? should i remount a cm back or will they be fine?

They will be fine to put back into te same holes as long as you did not destroy taking them out. So long as you know how to use a screwdriver you will be fine. Use some wood glue and make sure you don't over tighten and strip the screws.

absolutely fine. remounting them really close to the original holes would be worse for sure.

Just going to reiterate, providing the threads are intact, wood glue alone or with some steel wool for added bite should do the trick. Also make sure to use wood glue, not epoxy.

If you use epoxy an ever need to take the binding off again then it will destroy the holes. The good thing with wood glue is it will hold but also let the screw come out safely when needed.

In theory yes, but I've done it a lot with no issues. Try wood glue first and if any don't tighten fully then use 24 hour epoxy with fibreglass roof insulation (heavy mix of fibreglass), snug them down, leave to set then tighten fully.
