I'll go out on a limb and say it can only be done with scripting and command line tools or by writing some special code. (If it's possible, saying it can't be done will draw out anyone who knows how to do it.)

If you decide to do it series by series, not globally, you may want to merge all genres together and all tags for all series members. That's different from selecting the one series member with the most tags or genres. You can merge all tags and all genres for all books in a series by making an empty record and then Merging all series members into it with the "Keep Others" option. That initially "empty record" would end up with all the tags and genres for all the series members and the other records would be untouched. (You'll get a more than 5 books Merge Warning if the series has more than 4 members).
