I somewhat agree with Firefly in perhaps rerolling as a new concept, but my addendum to their suggestion is that instead of specifically killing the character (which I know is too harsh for some), you could just send them off on a never-ending adventure or w/e. Come up with a reason for them to go away and not need to be mentioned again, basically. That's what I did with my character Astrid once I felt I couldn't develop her anymore.
I won't go so far as to say you have/need to do this, but since I did something similar (albeit for different reasons), I just figured I'd offer my two cents. I do actually admire you for owning up to these faults at all, since I've met people in the past who had almost the exact same issues with their characters, but refused to acknowledge all constructive criticism given from multiple parties. Sometimes mere acceptance is the first step on the road to success.
I wish you luck no matter what you choose!
