Remove from first option list if it exsite in the second list using javascript/jquery

i have two options lists

First list

Second list

I want to check if value existe in the second list, if yes, remove it from the first list

I tried with this function

     var e = document.getElementById('0');
            var f = document.getElementById('5');
            var output = [];
            for(var a= e.options.length-1; a >= 0; a--) {
            output.push(e.options[a].value);

            }
console.log(output);
            for(var b= f.options.length-1; b >= 0; b--) {
            if (output.includes(f.options[b].value)){
                var i=output.indexOf(f.options[b].value);
                console.log(i);

                e.remove(i);

                }}

but, it work with one item in the list but not two or more, it remove different option from the first list and i think that's because when an item removed then after second loop, the items in the first list will have different indexes...maybe not sure

Hope someone can help

Please check function removeOptionIfExits. I have added explanation in comment lines in the code.

// Remove options from first select which already exist in second select.
function removeOptionIfExits() {
  // retrieve values from the second select
  var values = $("#5 option").toArray().map(x => x.value);
  
  // find all options from first select.
  // filter those options which has value exist in second select
  // loop through it and remove.
  $("#0 option").toArray()
        .filter(x => values.includes(x.value))
        .forEach(x => x.remove());
}

// Call remove function after document ready.
$(document).ready(function(){
  removeOptionIfExits();
});

<select id="0" multiple="" size="6">
  <option value="0xmohamed">0xmohamed</option>
  <option value="aaaaaaaaaaa">aaaaaaaaaaa</option>
  <option value="test">test</option>
</select>


<select id="5" name="ary[]" multiple="" size="6">
  <option value="aaaaaaaaaaa">aaaaaaaaaaa</option>
  <option value="test">test</option>
</select>

Jquery solution using filter function:

$('#0 option').filter(function(){
       return $('#5 option[value='+this.value+']').length > 0
}).remove();


$('#0 option').filter(function(){
       return $('#5 option[value='+this.value+']').length > 0
}).remove();
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select id="0" multiple="" size="6">
           <option value="0xmohamed">0xmohamed</option>
           <option value="aaaaaaaaaaa">aaaaaaaaaaa</option>
           <option value="test">test</option></select>
           
           <select id="5" name="ary[]" multiple="" size="6">              
           <option value="aaaaaaaaaaa">aaaaaaaaaaa</option>
           <option value="test">test</option>  </select>
