Dimpling Error

Have mistakenly punched a new hole in my RV-8 side skin with my dimple dye set. The side skin shiffted, and I didnt notice before I cracked the dimpler with my plastic mallet. YEEEEEK, now what ? Any ideas for a repair ? Bearcat
 
If it's not where anything will interfere with it, how about simply filling the hole with a rivet? Of course you'll have to deburr it and clean it up first.

If anyone asks, you can always call it a "tooling rivet."
