Fix it in software.  Figure out what number now means 'stop' and use that as the center in place of 90 degrees (or 1500 milliseconds).

If the pot is way too much in one direction to calibrate, you might replace the pot with two resistors as the voltage divider. This is commonly done (assuming you can easily remove/disconnect the pot).
