Default Missed rivet on top skin - Which blind rivet

I missed a single 426AD3-4 rivet on the wing walk area top skin. So far even my forced child labor bucking bar partner aka my son, cannot even reach it as it is a narrow place third rib in.

What blind rivet would be a good substitute here? I will ask Vans as well but I am pretty confident that a single flush blind rivet will hardly cause an issue.

Thanks. Good news is that this is final rivet on the wings.

That would be an MK319BS.

And you will, of course, run a #33 drill through that hole.
