Sounds like he started acting up and it escalated quickly to many areas. Pain would have nothing to do with his crosstie behavior.
I first would separate him from the other horses, they tend to appreciate you more when they are lonely. His personality should calm down some and then you can get more focus from him.
You have so many issues that they need to be addresses individually such as when in cross ties this is now part of him knowing he can get away with.
If a horse whirled and kicked at me I would be carrying a buggy whip so that I could reach him with out getting close enough to get kicked and he would get a spanking.
My concern is that with all of these new bad habits you are not capable of correcting them or they would not have gotten so out of hand to begin with.
