use drill with bit just big enough to drill off tops of heads.

However, a lot of TP sensors used tamperproof bolts, not rivets. So you may want to try small hammer with chisel and lightly tap these heads in counterclockwise rotation to loosen them and then they should back out.

It's been a while since I have modified throttle body for replacing TPS so I could be wrong...

I mean I have slept since then.

file the head of the bolt/screw to a slot so you can unscrew the bolt/screw with a flat-head screwdriver

Dremel cut-off disc to cut a slot into the bolt/washer. Then use a standard screwdriver to remove them.
