Is the core of the window frame filled with anything with a strong substance like wood or metal?

its hollow.

If those are stripped, how about a couple of stainless steel carriage head bolts and nuts. Nuts would have to be outside, thus the stainless steel.
Holes would have to be drilled through.
Or, if you have taps, drill and tap to a bigger size.

Put enough epoxy into the holes so that when it hardens, you have something to drill and screw into. Or just use pop (blind) rivets.

How about toggle bolts? Perhaps also epoxy the metal plate to the window.

So it's a vinyl window.. right?
Holes stripped out... right?
Bigger screws

Cooler, I had the same initial thought, (also known as well nuts (kayak accessory attachments)). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well_nut
I was also thinking of mounting a piece of ~16 gauge metal with epoxy/liquid nails/sm screws to the sash and refasten the device to/thru it...
