You can do just about anything with Task Scheduler, at the time of creation you could create a scheduled task for 6 months out that runs a script and will run if missed. From there, the question is simply how you wish to deactivate the stick. You could create a script to disable all user accounts except the local administrator, or wipe the drive using diskpart and a file that calls clean, or simply delete the BCD with bcdedit to prevent booting.
If you want data to be unreadable, you may want to implement BitLocker on the device as per the Security and Data Protection Considerations for Windows To Go. Then remove the system partition (including the decryption data and the ability to boot) via the scheduled script.
