What could I do with a friend who has a huge ego?
He can't never admit he's wrong. When others commit mistakes he always points it out, when others succed he doesn't compliment them. Has a negative opinion of everyone around him. Is kind of paranoid as he thinks most people have bad intentions. Thinks he's the most intelligent human on earth and knows it all.
When me and other friends tried to discuss this issue with him (cause sometimes we just think enough is enough and confront his attitude) he obviously think we're all wrong and he's completely right. When told his behavior is immature he says everyone is being immature instead (which is something immature, ironically).
He read a pair of Nietzches books when he was 16 and since then he has praised the philosopher. I think he's obsessed with Nietzsche idea of übermensch and that's the reason why he looks down on everyone.
How could we possibly make him get rid of his delusion and huge ego? He's been part of our group since we were kids so even though he's a toxic person we don't want drop him out.
Sorry for the wall of text.

Why do you want to keep him in your circle of friends? If it's only because he's been part of the group for a while, get rid of him

get rid of him
or ignore
or start acting like him and pointing out his mistakes without listening and furter arguing
use passive agressive jokes (he confused, you feel better)
but really u should get rid of him

I know, but this is the last option. Any other solution is welcome.

Make him choose. Bring up the discussion, explain how you guys percieve it. Tell him it's serious and make him understand you're not fucking around.
Change, let go off your big ass ego.(suggest psychedelics, works like magic on big egos right?) seen it happen and people change for the better even if tendencies are still there.
Or he can piss off

Tell him to read Wittenstien

Mock him mercilessly. The only way to knock down blowhards like that is to match their arrogance with humour. Non-sequitors and one-liners are key here:
>"whatever you say, poindexter"
>"did you read that in a book or did you figure it out by yourself?"
>"listening to you is like getting a frontal lobotomy without insurance"
A person who is that high on their horse loves being challenged and condescended to, so all you have to take the dude with a grain of salt and clown on him. Then you won't be feeling so frustrated and maybe enjoy his company.

You can't change a mental problem. Only he can choose to make the effort to tone down his narcissism (and possible aspergers).
