Yes star san is great for this. I personally would not boil bottle caps as the liner is a soft plastic.
I usually just lay out a towel and lay my caps upside down on this and spritz with starsan before starting to fill the bottles. Then my lovely assistant grabs the bottles from me, shakes the excessive starsan from the cap and places it on the bottle and caps it.
I've also just put the caps in a small container of starsan and pulled them out as needed.
Or, if the bag was unopened, I've just pulled the caps out of the bag and used them...

Yeah, I usually scoop out a bowl of star-san water from my bottling bucket as I'm sanitizing that, then throw about 20 caps in the bowl at a time and cap from there. I've never had a problem that way.
I like to count out the caps for the max# of bottles I can get from a batch, & put them in a small bowl of star-san. That way,when I'm done bottling,I know instantly how many bottles I got.
