With that type of straight blade, no tilt or angle, I think you have answered your own question. Consider back dragging a hard or compacted wear course(your existing road surface) with the cutting edge reversed (back dragging)is likely just going to scratch the surface. Any way you can scarify or rip the existing to loosen it up a bit ?
The old timers had to do this same thing, somehow get material in the middle, loose material and make a small berm. There are some methods to doing this, its described, illustrated in old books I have somewhere. Some would do like you suggest, but in reverse with the cutting edge and or blade pushing. Thats a light tractor and a short track frame, it won't be all that easy, but if you can cut into it and push up a berm, you can then easily grade a crown into that small section of road.
If you cannot run over the shoulders onto the sides to push, you could try to run on timbers parallel to the road, raising one track up and lowering one blade end bit or corner to cut, but that will make grooves, and it will take lots of passes because its just the corner of the blade. These were common methods used until tilt and angle was incorporated into dozer kits for tractors like these.
Any more modern dozer with a 6 way blade would likely make short work of this, or even a small excavator, backhoe to re-shape, loosen material, then it would be easy once you have loose material in the center.
