I'm with Steve and flying probing. As long as you are testing the capacitance of the cap in the circuit and not of the cap itself you'll get a pretty good indication. Most are going to be 10nf and 100nf decoupling caps at that size so quite easy to

For most applications, a nice square [or rectangle] pad works just fine. Assemblers ship boat loads of boards with these every day. It's reasonable for tight decoupling capacitor requirement applications to use round or radiused pads for components
