Could you simply edit the file and removing the atom from [atoms] section ? grompp wil complain regarding the line containing interactions. But also these few lines can be removed. Otherwise, vmd has the TopoTools that write the .top topology of the loaded pdb. Unfortunately, this topologyes are not useful for carrying out MD because they lack parameters. In any case are good for analysis!
