My skis don't have an edge on one side, and it still works for me.  I filled it with epoxy and sanded it down smooth. 

You could try sharpening them, though you have probably lost a lot of metal and actually sharpening it might not be very possible.

Filing the edge will take edge away.  in fact, every time you sharpen your edge you are taking edge away. 

I don't know if there is anything you can really do besides muscle it a little more, or get new skis.

You might want to try sharpening them a little under foot. It is really easy to fuck them up if you don't know what you are doing. Sooo check out some tuning videos before you take a file to them or have a friend who knows what's up help you. Racers are good at tuning so if you have any racer friends have them sharpen your edges from the front of your binding to the heal. This might help you grip a little better.
