The risk is easy to define. Taking out all the electronics at your place, and putting your life at risk.
As for why no one wants to repair it, that's easy, if the capacitors have been slagged by the lightning strike, then its odds on that the rest of the electricals in the inverter have been damaged as well, even if, visually, they look OK.
Best play it safe and replace the entire inverter.
