Can't you grind off the heads with a burr in a Dremel type drill, or are the heads not accessible?
Sets of small diamond tipped burrs aren't expensive and are surprisingly good, albeit not long-lasting. I use them quite a lot for such tasks as grinding rivets off valve-bases to remove the bases from chassis. I haven't got a Dremel - I use a cheapo variable speed similar style drill, which also has a flexible shaft and chuck to get into the more inaccessible places. Quite adequate for the job - such tools aren't called upon to do heavy duty work so there's no need to splash out on expensive ones such as Dremel.
Good luck!
