It sounds like your plant may have some winter burn. Fortunately, hollies are better at recovering from this than many other evergreen plants.
I would wait to prune. Once spring is fully underway, check the damaged stems. If the are pliable, the leaves have a good chance of regrowing. If they are brittle, they are dead and need to be removed.
