chmod can do whatever you need.  

If you want to use numbers to set the permissions absolutely, just add a 
leading zero to wipe out the "strange permissions", like
        chmod 0600 foo

You can also use letters to remove just the "strange permissions" like
        chmod a-s foo
which means "remove the s from all".
