But there are some questions, which have a number of question linked with:
Should the [close] tag be burninated?
It is difficult for users to untagged all the question? There should be a way to request for executing a script to remove unnecessary tags.
We don't want to script tag removal in most cases. If a question has a bad tag, odds are good that it has other problems as well. We'd prefer it if someone took the time to look at each question individually and fix all of the problems (or vote to close/flag for a moderator) while removing the bad tag.

There is a way to get tags burninated and its by posting a burninate-request on MSO.
As far the difficulty in manual retagging goes, moderators and community managers have tools to perform mass retags in one go. However, its not possible for moderators to respond to every request hence, retags are done both manually, and sometimes by moderators, if they may come across your thread.
These tools are not accessible to normal users. If you want a change in that, then you should start a feature-request
