Drill from the outside. Be carefull though, I think the center pop stud from the rivets is steel while the rivet itself is aluminum. Your drill will want to walk off center.

Try and get Low Head Socket Cap screws or Button Head Socket Cap screws either from a tool shop or bolt supply store. (I used Low Heads becase that is what the shop had) They may or may not be easy for you to find but I'll bet its easier than trying to find a 1/4" rivet and gun to fit it.
