Is there a way to do this so that a note is only deleted when all references to it are removed? Also, it would have to be renumbered if there are other notes between the first occurrance, and the first cross reference.

Word has no native facility for that. The simplest way around it is to not use endnote cross-references. Instead, insert the entire endnote at each location.
Alternatively, you could store all the endnotes and their references in one place (e.g. at the end of the document), with only cross-references to them elsewhere in the document. Then, when the content deletion is complete, move each endnote to wherever the first cross-reference to it appears and delete any endnotes that aren't cross-referenced.
