I sheared off the inside end of the rivets with a cheap curved chisel, and carefully ground off the rest with a Dremel. Got some aluminum industrial placard rivets offa eBay, like you'd use for attaching the informational badges on large electric motors and such, tapped them in gently with a hammer, and sheared them off inside and mushroomed them a bit with the curved chisel.
