A properly sized hole and a bolted connection torqued will provide every bit of the same clamping force as a rivet.
Drilling rivets is my preferred method of removal. Here is a video of me removing the rivets in the rear of my frame. It's a heck of a lot quieter than using an air hammer and a lot faster (I've removed with with an air hammer, grinder and drilling).
