Yes, there are deciders for all finite sets of TMs. You just cannot have one for all TMs.

I think actually for relatively small n we get cases where mathematics says nope, you can't decide that, the machine goes recursive and so now your decider may be looking at a machine which is itself running deciders and Kurt Gödel says "No".
