Default Reduce your weight by 19%!!!

All these "Reduce your weight by 19%!!!" email spams reminded me of a challenge I have with a couple of my overbuilt old planes:
How should I reduce a weight of a fully built, but uncovered plane? I am afraid that drilling holes in the wing ribs, the aileron, the fuselage, erc., will weaken the structure. Any rules-of-thumb here?
Any other means of cheap weight reduction?
