Default Soldering Surface mount capacitor with Radio Shack Soldering iron?

I need to solder couple of surface mount capcitors,but the tip is not
sharp enough.

Is there any way to do it without buying expensive tools ? Can i tie a
needle to the gun?


File it down.

It will not last long afterward. The flux will eat up the bare copper.
