Alex,
you pretty much summed it up! Other than using small drills that is. We used a magbroach but using a drillbit of about 5/8". Cut off one head, grind flat, drill through to about the thickness of plate and then punch out. The punch running inside the rivet with its end against the remaining head. We had a few that punched out ok without drilling and some that required cutting in a similar way to your description. All good fun!

Removing rivets,dies for rivets
It wont be available to everyone, but I used an arc/air gouger to remove the stainless welds from my hull. It would work well for removing rivets too.
As far as tooling goes, I have made up a die for a pneumatic rivet gun. I turned it up on a lathe, out of 4140 (or maybe 4340) the advantage of which, it work hardens with use.
