Problem moving latch plate for door lock

I have a bathroom door that does not latch and will not lock. I researched it some and have determined that the problem is the location of the latch plate. It needs to be moved down about 1/2 inch. Unfortunately,
that moves the top screw into the area where the wood was removed to form the space for the latch to enter. I guess I can use a longer screw but the door will sure looked hacked up. Any suggestions? Will I have to replace the whole trim piece the plate is attached to? TIA...
