I don't think I would rip them all out of they are already in.
Here are the important shear strength numbers:
Pop rivets - about 120 lbs
Olympic rivets - 465 lbs
5/32 2117 Rivets (28 ksi) - 555 lbs
So the buck rivets are about 20% stronger. But I would guess the design is probably a 3X safety factor, so even Olympics are strong enough.
. . . if you keep your running gear balanced.
