If it's not needed, it should be possible.

Bypassing it may cause problems, but replacing it with a smaller one should be okay.

Don't replace it with a resistor, it'll put full battery power across it. Don't bypass it, it'll dead-short the battery. I would say cut it off, but it probably has filtering purposes as well. You could probably get away with a 470, maybe even 220 microfarad capacitor.

Ya, it's probably a filtering capacitor or something...
you CAN'T bypass it, just replace it with a smaller capacitor with a similar rating.
