I would peel away any dried/dead/brown outer pstem to maximize as much green pstem as possible to help with photosynthesis. It wouldn't help much granted but if the plants are in direct sun it might produce enough energy to mature a few fingers if given enough time. Probably trim the bunch to just a few bananas too.
