When I dimple holes in thin sheet they get larger to the point where the
clecos won't hold. Should I drill holes that are to be dimpled for 1/8
rivets a little smaller (like #31 or #32)? What are others doing?

Never had that problem and I did a bunch of drilling and dimpling on the
RV-6. Are you drilling #30 to start with and using quality dimple dies? I
hate to ask, but are you using the copper colored clecos, or have you
accidentally dipped into the silver ones?

Another option is that your cleco's are worn out. Any chance of that?
