You need to get a small punch, and hit out the stub in the middle of the rivet, then drill it out.
If worst comes to worst, you can take a grinder, and grind off the head.

If you use the right size of drill bit you shouldn't need a chisel at all. I drill out rivets all the time on the Super Late Model Dirt car that I help work on. It's nothing to drill at least 50 in one night at the races.
