Help!!

I am trying to repack the Akro cans on my 990 but I am really struggling to drill out the pop rivets for the end caps. I believe these are stainless steel and have bought some carbide HSS drill bits to drill them out. I have tried different speeds and various size bits but I just cant get these out. The bits don't seem to bite and get a swarf (spelling?) only tiny metal filings. What am I doing wrong here???
