I don't use a screw link, I use the Wipperman Connex joining link which just pulls together/pushes apart. I think the potential problem with riveting it back together is that it is not actually riveted, it is just pushed back in. Unless you get your ball hammer out and actually flatten the end?
If it has not caused any problems then it will be fine as that is what I did for 30 years but the only chain failure I had was on a link joined back by myself so probably bad workmanship rather than bad theory!
