Perhaps have it mulched to the ground by a forestry mulcher and then spray it to kill it?

Have to pull it and burn it before it goes to seed. This what we used for the bigger bushes. https://www.northerntool.com/products/brush-grubber-heavy-duty-brush-grubber-model-bg-08-119312. You have to be diligent and keep at it because even when you think you got it all, in a few years it’s back.

Uprooting the material was listed as one of the time intensive approaches compared to mowing/spraying in the report I linked. Like anything, you'd have to assess how much time /money each approach will actually take for you relative to the amount of barberry you need to remove.
If you choose uprooting, the least expensive starting point could be getting about 10 inches of 2" pipe to make one of these to use as a puller with a chain attached to the drawbar. Front-End Loader - Danuser Intimdator
