I read this DIY about removing the exhaust, it is a 90 minute job. it seems to be the only way.

If anyone else has a way to remove the tips without removing the exhaust, I am definitely interested.
I haven't tried this, but once you drill out the accessible side maybe you could just keeip drilling through the pipe and through the other side:? Centering on the far rivet from inside would be tough, though.
