    Something like this should do it:

    IEnumerable<string, int> pairsToRemove = dictionary.Where(pair => pair.Value == 0);
    

    To generate a random index, you could use:

    int indexToRemove = [RandomNumber] % pairsToRemove.Length() -1;
    

    Find the indexToRemove th element from pairsToRemove and remove it from the dictionary.

    As to efficiency:
    The complexity should be O(n)[get all items with value 0] + O(.6N)[finding ith value to remove] + O(log(n))[deletion] assuming the random number generation is constant time.

    The problem is, there is no way to perform a value lookup on a dictionary in better than O(n) time. So that will be your bottleneck.
