I don't think they do.

A tiny, foul-tempered humanoid creature that dwells in the evil mountains. They are known to enjoy drinking liquor and will take any unguarded supplies of booze.

They do if they're webbed.

Not unless the Titan is stunned or webbed.

Stunning would be easier by making the titan fall via portcullis or something.

Capture a Giant Cave Spider.  Have it shoot web at something near the cages.  Getting it to do so can be tricky, since they don't like to shoot web at anything they can't reach, and a non-tame GCS can be difficult to safely recage.  Note also that a cage trap with webbing on it will catch anything that steps on it, including your own dwarves.

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius --- and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.

If the titan in question can fly, I think that an elaborate water-flusing system can smash them against walls and floors hard enough to stun them for caging. 

Difficult to set up, but I for one would certainly prefer to capture them :)
