Xcode is not designed to work that way. Better to move data and other things to an external drive larger than a typical flash drive. Either external SSD or HDD. An SSD with USB-C would be fastest. Ideally one designed for Thunderbolt4.
Xcode stays on your Mac. It installs other binaries and data outside of the app bundle to other places on your Mac and is horribly slow even on your far faster internal storage.
Free up other nonessential personal data. Look at the Apple () menu > About This Mac > Storage panel. Click Manage… Reduce Clutter [ Review Files ]. This will show you descending file sizes for different categories, and you will likely find some large candidates for removal there.
