Maybe you need a bigger drill bit? What was happening with them that wasn't working?

If the 1/8 didn't work try the 1/4

u mean like drill bit or like a drill bit thats a phillips or flat screwdriver? Ive never done anything with rivets so am completely clueless

You want a regular drill bit. You need to drill out the center of the rivet. If one bit doesn't get it step it up a notch until you find one that works. You'll know when you get the center drilled out because the head of the rivet will start spinning real good on the bit.
