i have had similar issues with my carrier rivets specifiaclly the gunners side rear compartment armour. which is countersunk on both sides. i used a slitting disc to take the heads off then as you say Ron heated up the remains and punched them out.

tools
my tooling method worked for doing one carrier just that we had to redo the cups and modify them to get the perfect formed rivet head but after doing one carrier they were starting to crack around the cup even after re hardening them mind you they do take a good pounding so to speek.
