Depends a bit on the OS you want to work in.
In Linux, I'd probably try scripting it using eyeD3 (a Python module) or kid3-cli (there's also the GUI-based kid3). Since Python runs on everything, I'd expect eyeD3 would too. AFAIK, kid3 builds are available for Linux, Windows, MacOS, but I don't know if that's true for kid3-cli.
There's a number of other choices too---Mp3tag certainly comes to mind, but I've never tried scripting in it---so have a look around.
The brute-force-and-ignorance approach is to delete the entire ID3v2 container and create a new one with just the tags that you want.
