Greg,
Do not EVER remove the lands from the outer layer. The pads are
necessary during the plating process. Removing pads will prevent
plating solution from getting in the holes. Even with a dot pattern
to allow plating, the quality of the plating will be horrible and non-
reliable. This is one of the main reasons for a minimum annular ring
requirement.
With good process control of plating, normal stresses will not effect
hole reliability
