Deleting subfields is a bit tricky since subfields may

Yeah, I can see what you're saying, but doesn't that also apply to
repeatable fields? If a particular subfield that is one of a repeated
set needed to be deleted, it could be identified by a regex or by its
order in an array (following object syntax probably not correct):
@subfields = $subject->subfields();
foreach $notwanted (@subfields) {
if ($notwanted =~ /badsubject/) {
$notwanted->delete_subfield();
}
}
