Throttle plate rivets

I'm looking at doing the throttle plate mod, but all that grinding seems like a lot of work. Is there any reason why one couldn't drill out the rivets and then simply pop a rivet back in?

i cut the rivets off, and filled the 2 small holes with JB weld, then i sanded it down to be flush with the thottle plate and never had a problem
