You can try the following script. It's interactive, once you know what the average/common % margin values are, it is easy to update these values and turn off the interactive step so that this can be batched.
EDIT: I have updated the original interactive guide layout code to now work in % without manually setting the units.
The script will then crop to the guides and remove the guides. The cropped pixels can be retained or permanently deleted by changing false to true in the crop function call.
