The strings can of course just be zapped by a search and replace option where the "replace" is left blank. This could be generalized by using a regular expression.
I'm sure there's also a possibility to get rid of "images within images" (see "Steganography" on Wikipedia) once it's known how the images are hidden. Then a script (possibly for ImageMagick) could do the trick. As of now, I haven't researched this, however.
After this, it would be possible to automatically remove DRM from the book if you combine the methods above with a library that can explode and then implode an EPUB. Calibre obviously has the capability already.
I feel an additional plugin is coming for inclusion into Alf's tools...
