It is typical "rule of thumb" sort of design to massively over filter power rails, decouple ICs at every package, etc. to stay out of the sort of trouble not doing that (weird intermittent glitches) leads to. Any fairly high value ceramic will be better than nothing in restoring the design intent of that part of the circuit, no capacitor you can fit in there will "trash the thing" provided you install it correctly.
I would have no hesitation attempting to power that board up with the fried cap removed after double checking it's just across some power rail (buzz it out with a multimeter, confirm parallel connection to a nearby electolytic), those multi layer ceramic caps can fracture and short, likely all that went wrong, and likely it'll run about forever with it gone. If it bugs you 1+uF is a solid estimate, the actual capacity of a MLCC is a sort of hard thing to define anyhow, they lose capacity with DC bias.
