Default Transforming messy database into clean database

I currently have the following data in column A:

Column A:
123-456-7890
123-456-7890 456-789-0123 / FAX: 123-456-9870
123-456-7890;123-654-7890
123-456-7890;123-654-7890FX1234567
0
?
#N/A
123-456-7890 x1234/fax:123-654-7890
123-456-7890/456-789-01234
123-456-7890; FAX:123-456-9870
123-456-7890 ID1234
123-456-7890 (team 1)
123-456-7890;FAX 321-456-7890
123-456-7890 x123
1-123-456-7890 direct 321-456-7890 fax: 123-456-7980
123-456-789 x1; FAX 123-456-9870
123-456-7890

Is there an easy way to transform this data into Column B so that it picks
up the first set of phone numbers, so it reads:

Column B:
123-456-7890
123-456-7890
123-456-7892
123-456-7893
NA
NA
NA
123-456-7897
123-456-7898
123-456-7899
123-456-7900
123-456-7901
123-456-7902
123-456-7903
123-456-7904
123-456-7905
123-456-7906

Thanks very much for your insight.
