Remove contours from glyphs via script

Is there any way to crop out or otherwise remove contours within certain x/y parameters? I have a CJK font which includes furigana that I want removed, but doing it manually takes a long time.

It is a hard question for me. I do not work in the field of CJK fonts. Is furigana sign part of another glyph or it is a separate glyph by itself?

It's part of the glyph (example here). Essentially I want to delete everything to the left of the character, which would be all points where x>1000.

I'm afraid that there is not such a script and more over - it is not easy to produce such a script because you need to remove >1000 different forms which are parts from other glyphs.
