The stir plate has no problem supporting a 5 gallon carboy. I've had one spinning on one of my prototypes for over a month.
If you are really concerned you can use a non-skid pad like one of these.

Also, you will need to let the brew settle and/or rack to a secondary but since the yeast will be finished it should not take too long for the beer to settle.
The sample stir plates shipped with one stir bar but the production stir plates will ship with two. To remove the stir bar you pull the carboy off the stir plate, find the stir bar with a outside magnet then just walk it up the outside of the carboy with the outside magnet.
