drill it out. find a drillbit a little larger than the ID or thr rivit and drill it. the only problem with that is many times it will jsut spin in the hole.

Drill through the center of it (usually with a 1/8 inch bit, sometimes bigger for a larger rivet).

If the center is still in the Rivit, you can punch it out, then you can file, grind, bend, what ever the end to push it back through, or drill it out. I don't think there is any way with just just destroying it.
