I am pretty sure the beardie will deal with it..When my beardie was younger his tail was in constant shed..haha..If you're really worried about it,give him a bath and it will loosen his skin up quite a bit or might get rid of it during the bath..Put him in there for about 30 minutes..Make the water,warm but not hot..

Beardies don't shed in one piece like snakes do. It might be a good idea to mist him to help loosen the skin. Just don't pull it off if it's not ready or you could damage the new skin.
