Use find -perm (check man find for details)

$ man find
<snip>
| Code: |
-perm mode
File's permission bits are exactly mode (octal or symbolic).
Symbolic modes use mode 0 as a point of departure.
-perm -mode
All of the permission bits mode are set for the file.
-perm +mode
Any of the permission bits mode are set for the file.
|
<snip>
| Code: |
-exec command ;
Execute command; true if 0 status is returned. All following
arguments to find are taken to be arguments to the command until
an argument consisting of `;' is encountered. The string `{}'
is replaced by the current file name being processed everywhere
it occurs in the arguments to the command, not just in arguments
where it is alone, as in some versions of find. Both of these
constructions might need to be escaped (with a `\') or quoted to
protect them from expansion by the shell. The command is exe-
cuted in the starting directory.

so something like
find path -perm +0001 -exec rm {} \;
will work?
