Unrivet them, put some putty over the holes and sand or buy new straps.

Unfortunately EIB requirements do not allow for riveted shoulder straps. Depending on the kit you could maybe cover them up with bondo, or maybe some contact some of the armourers to see if they can send you a new set.

Your best bet is to just get a new set of shoulder straps, chuck the old ones, and glue the new ones in place in the front. This will cover the holes. For the back you can fill the holes as best you can and some touch up paint could work out.

Or for the backs, you could place a small piece of white industrial velcro to hold the strap to the backplate but still have the "floating" effect. Works great on mine and will cover the holes.
