One interpretation could be "pull the delegation to the lame name
server, but leave the working ones in place".

Do note, though, that if the zone itself still lists the lame
server in its NS RRset, that RRset will override the NS RRset
received from the delegating zone, since the latter is non-
authoritative information, and recursive name servers may think
it's a good idea to validate the NS RRset from one of the
authoritative name servers.  So...  It's not a given that
removing the delegation record for the lame name server will
actually make much of a difference.

Or perhaps you meant "remove the entire delegation"?  It sounds
kind of drastic...
