Mavic rivet

I've got a pair of Open Pros that have a few miles on them. One of the rim rivets on the rear wheel has split so that the outside part slides along the spoke. Now that spoke has a little creak to it as the wheel turns when there's weight applied. Is there an easy way to fix this, or is it time to relace to a new rim?

Only thing keeping the rest eyelet there is the spoke nipple.
If it were me, I would replace the rim.
