Have a look at the JOSM plugin "merge-overlap". After you installed it you get a new menu entry Tool -> Merge Overlap.

Select two ways, that share a common border which has a way-duplication. Then choose this tool and you will end up with three ways: One for the common border and two for the remaining parts of the borders.
