This is really a critical situation. What application does that server run? How big is your /usr/share ? Compared to other directories in /usr, moving /usr/share to another location and creating a symbolic link would be easier to avoid serious damage. You could curve out a little bit of space doing that while ensuring zero down time.
What version of CentOS are you using? I guess 5.x? For a permanent solution, I would go for LVM. But for that, you would have to spend a lot of time in single user mode to migrate the data and at the end things may not turn out as expected.

GAELIC(5) Linux Programmers Manual GAELIC(5)
NAME
gaelic - a list of Scots Gaelic words
DESCRIPTION
/usr/share/dict/gaelic is an ASCII file which contains an alphabetic list of words, one per line.
FILES
/etc/dictionaries-common/words is a symbolic link to a /usr/share/dict/<language> file. /usr/share/dict/words is a symbolic link to
/etc/dictionaries-common/words, and is the name by which other software should refer to the system word list. See select-default-
wordlist(8) for more information.
The directory /usr/share/dict can contain word lists for many languages, with name of the language in English, e.g., /usr/share/dict/french
and /usr/share/dict/danish contain respectively lists of French and Danish words if they exist. Such lists should be coded using the ISO
8859-1 character set encoding.
SEE ALSO
ispell(1), select-default-wordlist(8), and the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard.
HISTORY
The words lists are not specific, and may be generated from any number of sources.
The system word list used to be /usr/dict/words. For compatibility, software should check that location if /usr/share/dict/words does not
exist.
