A few rivet questions

Good morning everyone,
I am about 100 rivets + or - from being able to flip my fuselage (7) but have run into a couple of hicups.

1. I want to use blind rivets at the forward and aft ends of the F623 (corner rib), the triangular one in the baggage area. The plans call for a AN426AD3-4 (front) and AN426AD3-5 (rear)...any ideas on the nomenclature of the CherryMax or general pop rivets?

2. Also, I have made a few boo boos in my firewall and when I drilled the rivets out the holes were enlarges. Does anyone know what the oops rivet is for an AN426AD4-?? I know the shank will have to be a 5 in diameter but the factory head still needs to be for a 4.

As always, thanks in advance,
Brandon

CR3214-4-4 and-4-5 for the aluminum rivets. I don't know if a reduced head monel or steel rivet exists. Shave down a larger rivet? Screw?
