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.

To remove rivets, you can use a drill with a metal drill bit to carefully drill out the center of the rivet until the head breaks off. Alternatively, you can use a chisel or a punch to tap the rivet out from the back side if there’s access. For stubborn rivets, a pair of pliers can help grip and twist them out. Always wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from metal shavings.
