Take a drill bit a little larger than the rivet'* CENTER piece and drill it out. Thats the ONLY way to remove one.

Keep in mind though...the heat from drilling will melt the rivet out most likely.

do it a little bit at a time, so as to not heat up the rivit. it would even be good to use cutting oil to keep it cool also.
