Fixing my front door, how to?

Standing inside the house, the upper right hand corner started rubbing.

Checked the hinges and top one the screws into the door jam were loose, tightened them, ta da! Fixed!

Two days later screws were loose and top corner rubbing again.

So I went to the store and bought screws one size larger, decided I would change out all the hinge screws.

Changed out the top screws, rubbing gone, changed middle and bottom screws, rubbing back.

Any ideas on how to fix this? New hinges? Hit the rubbing corner with some sandpaper?

Thanks,

top and bottom hinge:





Yes we need a new front door, but not in the budget until much later in the year.
