There's several ways to remove rivits such as drilling, grinding the heads off with a Dremel (good for cases where you want to temporarily remove a rivited item), cutting the shaft of the rivit if the item it's securing is gone and it's loose in it's hole.
I'd leave the socket attached for cleaning.

On a side note, does anyone have the schematic for this tv? I have one schematic of it but it is from an old magazine and the resolution of the scan is not so good. I can barely read most if any of the schematic. I am going to do a recap of all the electrolytics while I am working on this tv after I fix the primary issue it has. I am sure the caps are leaky given the age of the tv.
