Been there, done that. Not a problem with awl and longer rivets.
However, this element IS driven, so it can be unbolted at the center

Be careful if you remove rivets from the 40m element, though. I don't
remember which sections, but part of the center portion is triple walled and
it's a PITA to re-align the three holes after-the-fact.
Yes, first hand experience.
