Drill them out completely and replace with flathead fully knurled shank aluminium.copper or brass rivets. This sort of thing: https://www.oukailuo.com/Customized-...-Steel-Rivets/. Try a boot maker if you can't readily source them elsewhere (I think that's where I bought my last lot) although there a plenty of ebay listings. Note the round/dome head copper ones will usually become flat headed while being driven in. Or drill through to the other side and use this type https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/37414972...Bk9SR4jnjqaAYQ or https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/35387544...Bk9SR4znjqaAYQ
