I believe the 5 packs come in a sealed plastic package with tin foil similar to buying allergy meds at the pharmacy...
So I don't think they would be able to remove the caps for you. Personally, I'd rather have them sealed than think 50 people might have handled them before getting to me.

The blanks come in little boxes of 5, not in the foil packs.
I've been using medium size binder clips - the black ones with the metal arms (holds 20-30 pages, maybe an inch long?). You can steal from your office or get at any office supply. Remove one of the metal arms and use it as a pry device. Be careful, the first time you pull it off, you need to rotate slowly and use some force. When it comes out it might fly! After that you should be able to get it off with your fingernail. (The white ring and the clear ring go back in concave down.)
Alternatively, a 3ml syringe and 16ga needle from the feed store (~$.80) will fit in that hole. I put in .5ml initially, but I think the blanks can hold more.
To hold them, I take off the rubber sleeves, leave in the stopper, and place them into a .9mm PPR plastic ammunition holder. It keeps them upright so I can fill and let sit. I'm thinking a .45mm holder might accommodate the plastic sleeve, but I don't have a .45, so I haven't tried it yet.
(Note to self, go buy a Baby Eagle for an excuse to get a bigger ammunition tray.) i.e. excuse to buy new gun so I have a $.30 plastic tray to use for filling. (This is completely justifiable in my mind. See, I'm from Texas?)

its really not difficult to remove the caps...I use a celtics pin to pry off the cap and silicone. Its the type of pin you would put on your shirt. It only takes a second. Push pins also work well, but I don't like carrying them around for fear that my juice bottles will be pierced.
My gun rack is empty.

Long fingernails do the job fine, too. 
It's not that bad to take off the caps and plug yourself. Pretty mindless stuff you can do while watching TV or listening to the radio or something.
I keep them upright during/after filling with a cheap little solution:
You can buy flat rounds of ~1/4" thick, plain cosmetic sponges in any cosmetics section of a drugstore or big retail store. Punch a few equal-spaced holes in them with a hole punch, and you have stretchy holes to stick a few cartomizers into and keep them upright. The dense foam keeps its shape, and the round disc shape stabilizes them even if you're only setting one carto in it. (I use it to keep attys upright while they drain or dry overnight, too.)
You might be able to do the same with a regular kitchen sponge, but it's thicker so you can't use a hole punch to get nice round holes in it.
I don't think I can justify getting the 12-gauge Browning and the lovely little .22 that are on my wishlist, I'm spending too much on e-cigs
