You could try to remove/rename /var/cache/edb/world, and then do an "emerge -p depclean". Then remove all packages that it indicates and that you know that are not essential. (For example a system logger still is very sensible to keep, although it is not part of system) For the other (system) packages do a case by case evaluation (qpkg -I -v) for which are needed and not.
