not sure if you're talking about the 'ball stud' or the pivot point for the fork. Is it a stock bellhousing or aftermarket?

I believe that you're talking about the pivot for the fork. That should not be bending. I have had mopars with very heavily sprung pressure plates and never had that problem. I think that you need to take a closer look at your set up.

What will make a clutch pedal really stiff is a high spring rate pressure plate, or an inadequate over center spring on the pedal. Is your overcenter spring from a /6 or a v8 application such as a 340 or such ? Comparing the 6 vs 8 spring there is a huge wire diameter difference, and a huge resulting assist difference as a result.
I think the riveted parts you are talking about is the flat spring steel "keeper" (for lack of a better term) that locates the fork on the pivot. It shouldnt have anything to do with pedal effort as long as everything is located correctly.
