here is something untested, but to get started

-- just for example...
-- [3][1][1] mean Transform/Position/X
track = selection[1][3][1][1].controller

-- select keys by skip each 5th
for i = 1 to track.keys.count where \
mod i 5 != 0 do selectKey track i

-- delete selected keys
deleteKeys track #selection
