I would assume drill out the old rivet (like you would if one was holding your baffle in) and replace with a new one.
Only thing I could think of is if the rivet material needs to be made of something specific.
I can have a look for a hand riveter in the garage later if you want (I can't be that far from you).

That's what I'd do...tbf I'd probably leave it as the soot will block it enough eventually.
