The risk is your choice of course Alex, but on a practical note, many boards
require a high temperature soldering iron; if you don't have one you will have the devil's own job removing the capacitors and installing the new ones.
in normal circumstances capacitors quite often get blown, and everything else is fine, but with a lightning strike, your chances of that are remote, as
remarked upon by JeniSkunk. Also, are the capacitor values still legible?
