Careful with rivnuts. Most people do poor install on them, and they end up becoming an issue. My car for instance, somebody put in rivnuts on stripped out frame threads and 3 out of 4 of them just spin in their holes. My sway bar bushings aren't in too bad of shape so I've just not bothered doing anything about them for now.

You can use a center punch and 'pin' around the hole to tighten them up. But in some cases is only a temporary fix.

Make sure you have a bolt in the hole before you start pinning.

Theres a chance the ones on your car are factory installed based on what skip fix posted.

Now that I think of it, my old 78 T/A i had as a teenager & into my mid 20s had some type of threaded insert in the frame for the sway bar, one side they were spinning so a friends dad put a tack weld on them from the factory side holes in the frame.
