The heads on the rivets that I installed on my brakes are smashed like
you said yours were. If the brake pads are solid then use them If they
come flying off of there, which is highly unlikely, then put new ones
on. I have had brake lines break on 3 or 4 occasions and shoot all the
fluid out the crack. One operating brake is plenty.

I had a local mechanic finish mine up, and the rivet heads are a little
better but not much--they're pretty much smashed. So that's the way
they're supposed to be, I guess.
