I have replaced a lot of rivets with rive-nuts. A rive nut is a rivet that
has a threaded inside. It installed on a mandrel, squeezed and popped. I
use a little loc tite red to hold the rivet-nut in place. Mac Tools,
Snap-on and various other carry these tools and rive-nuts.
I believe they were used primarily in the aircraft industry.
Not cheap but very effective. They are made in Standard thread as well as
metric. I have as standard SS up to 1/4 " Google Rive nut for venders
