Not exactly the same issue, just letting you know you are not alone in your squatting woes!
Has anyone else had similar shoulder/wrist pain issues with squats?

I hold the bar out by the plates as well. I am curious as to why you are having a painful time doing it. In fact, I actually don't even hold the bar so much as wrapping two fingers around the bar and the others just basically rest against the plates. Maybe it helps that my plates are flat on one side, so I don't get any pinching issues? and do you lock the plates in with collars?
