Arctic (who else?) recommends punching small dimples north, south, east and . . . west on the rivet you can see as it may grip sufficiently for you to undo those pesky bolts. I had the same problem recently but failed to get them out without distorting the hole. I've had to use rubber rivnuts (see eBay) to provide a safe replacement. Good luck.
