Don't fill the holes and redrill, that will weaken the neck for no good reason.

Then I cut out the outline with scissors, pop the piece of paper in the pocket and mark centres of the hole positions in the wood of the heel using something suitably pointed.
Finally, I drill the holes using a bradpoint wood drill.
I use the same technique when I am veneering so that I can re-find the bridge screw holes, etc, which are pretty impossible to re-find any other way once the veneer has been put on...
Aside from the aforementioned, you could even stick 4 thin patties of blu tack in the neck route under the approximate locations of the screw holes, then press the neck gently down on them to imprint the precise locations. You can then stick a bradawl through the blu tack to mark the wood underneath.
