Tiny clickable element: does this fail WCAG2?

Hi all,

Sorry - another WCAG2 question for you:

I'm auditing a carousel/slideshow that has those little dots for
choosing a slide. The dots are quite small, around 5px across. I'm
concerned that a user with poor vision or unsteady hands may find it
difficult to home in on these dots to click them. Since there's no
Previous/Next buttons, and the slideshow doesn't play automatically,
this is the only way to move between slides.

Does this fail WCAG2? I really hope so, but I can't find a place to fail it.

Thanks again, Lynn
