I noticed there are white worms in a few of the axolotl eggs I have. What is this and how do I kill them?

These white worms are most probably not harmful. Probably dirt worms.
Moreover, when watching carefully the photo, they're not really in the eggs, but only around the jelly, and the embryo seems healthy.
I wouldn't worry about them.

Do you have any idea what they are?
 
They most probably are detritus worms.
It's a sort of tiny annelid worm (like earthworms, blackworms or tubifex).
I cannot find an exact species name for them.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
