  Would it meet your need to proceed as follows?

  Retrieve and hold the NS RRset of interest.
  Copy the RDATA from each NS RR, excluding any out-of-bailiwick references,
  to construct a list of glue names.
  Delete the held NS RRs and the A, AAAA records for the constructed list
  of glue names.

  If the absence of a delend causes an error condition,
  ignore the error and continue.

  This won't catch either sibling glue or gratuitous address records.

  I hope this helps.
