You should probably be more afraid of drilling right through the top of the door as you drill out the old pop-rivets. I have used a piece of coolant hose to cover the torsion bar and put a wide blade putty knife down behind the pop-rivets as I drill them out. Now that I have a Dremel I believe I would use it to grind off the heads of the rivets next time. I suspect the old pop rivet heads will still be a pain to retrieve and I'll have to wait a few months while some roll around in the top part of the door before they roll down into the door where I can finally get them.
