Door/Roof seals - pop rivets or screws?

Hi,
I need some suggestions on how to fasten the door/roof seal. Yes, I
know that you have to drill out the old pop rivets, take of the T-
panel off, and preferably have the torsion bars out when you drill.
But - is it possible to use other fasteners than new pop rivets?
I'm already on my 2nd set of door/roof seals, (don't ask me why!) and
I'm worried about creating a too big hole for the pop rivets in the
door itself since I'm going to drill the pop rivets out once again.
Also, I would like to make this a practical and easy solution, so if
I ever have to do this again, all I have to do is unscrew the screws
with no drilling necessary!
So, is it possible to use small stainless screws instead of poprivets
to fasten the door/roof seals. Will they hold?
I'm aware that this isn't the correct factory procedure and would
alter the appearance a bit, but has anyone else tried this?
If so, was it successfull, and what sizes did you use for the screws?
Best wishes
