I don't know what size of capacitor is used for the built-in flash on a K-30, but it can't be very big, it takes very little power to charge it. There are probably diodes in the circuit to prevent a discharge from going anywhere but to the flash tube. I'm not the electrical engineer who designed this flash, but after a week it should be safe from an accidental discharge. Is it necessary to open the circuit to the flash tube to get at the electromagnet that moves the aperture lever?
