If the outer leaves are healthy and growing, just remove the dead growth from the centre. If no growth occurs from the central part after another month and it looks ugly, dig it up and split it, replanting the healthy sections.

I'd cut out the dead leaves and hope that it re-gows. There's not much you can do until it decides whether it wants to live!
