I wouldn't unless you see signs of slipping or looseness. If there are markings around the head of the rivet where it looks like it has become loose and started moving around then cut it out and replace with a bolt....

If you have power steering, take a close look at the frontmost crossmember rivets near the steering box. Half of the frames I work on have torn the crossmember itself at the rivet.
I welded my C30 frame crossmember. ------------------ Just as if I knew what I was doin'
