The only way to tighten the rivet would be with a punch and hammer...sounds like a bad time waiting to happen to me; you could try using epoxy, glue, or liquid nails to see if it would set, but if you aren't dead on you are in trouble when it sets.
Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.

I have played around with micro fasteners and recessed them. I use a taper head and cut the countersink on the screw head side, and then mill out the opposite side for the nut.
This offers the solution of flush fasteners, and they can be tightened in the future...however (as Glen can attest) I have a considerable way to go on my finish work, but a skilled guy could probably pull this off (don's ask me to, please). I am not sure I would consider it for traditional materials, but I have done it with synthetics like G-10 with results I like.
