Just as you said....drill the centers out of them. If you are talking about the large rivets that hold ball joints in....that's another story. It's easier to use an air chisel or grinder on them and carefully grind the heads off without cutting up the control arm. Then punch them through. If you don't have an air grinder a GOOD metal chisel and big hammer will do it....probably faster than the drill.
