It depends on what the atom is overlapping with and some conjecture as to what might be causing the overlap:
You can always manually move it, either by editing the .gro file directly or using a tool like VMD to move it or the molecule/fragment it's attached to with the mouse and then display the new coordinates and the update the .gro file. If it's something like a solvent molecule (water/lipid) and there is nowhere to move the molecule, you can try deleting it too (just remmeber to update .top file).
