It’s a bolt on the hinge of a folding chair. No idea what the actual proper name for it is, though.
Can it be removed without destroying it or any part of the chair itself?
Any advice is appreciated! Thank you!

It’s a rivet, and it can be drilled out, but replacing it with an equivalent joint is going to be difficult. if you don’t use the same material. This looks like a beach chair or some kind of outdoor thing. You might be okay replacing it with something like this: https://www.amazon.com/YORANYO-Assorted-M5-Decorate-Bookbinding/dp/B0B7WMQM97
You may be able to go to a local hardware store and find similar, but in lower quantity and maybe something not as specified for leathercraft/book binding. If you do go that route, put some loctite in the thread so you don’t unscrew yourself accidentally and lose one or more.
I was thinking binding post too, but those just don’t ever get tight like a rivet. It may still work, just be a little loose. Loctite is a smart idea as insurance.
Maybe add a nylon washer between the parts, so it compresses just a little when tightening the binding post. Would make for a smooth motion as a bonus.
