Default EK steering wheel HELP!!!

I have a 98 EK coupe and I am having trouble taking off my stockstering wheel. I know what I am supposed to do, I just cant do it.

Disconnect the battery - DONE
Remove the panel under the wheel to disconnect the airbag - DONE
Remove the panels on either side of the wheel - DONE
Remove the torx screws on either side of the wheel - NOT DONE
Here is the problem, I dont have a torx screw it looks like it is a rivet or something. It has 2 small circular indents in them.

So what am I supposed to do now???

Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

just a suggestion, it would be easier if you get the torx bit, just go to a local hardware/sears/ or parts store, they cost less than $15 for a set here at a local store & you do want to save those screws & the steering wheel just incase you decided to put the car back to stock.

Some one already peiced his back together, now he has to get creative.
It could have been off the car already if you just drill the head off the rivet.

If I drill the head off is there a chance of me not being able to put it back together??
and should i just drill right in to the middle and hope it comes off??

and yes i do have the torx bit, I just dont have a screw to remove.
