is there a way to change who the tree is centered around (who it was 'started' by), or to somehow duplicate the tree from a different person?

You can do this by exporting your family tree as a GEDCOM or FamilyScript file and then importing it again. The last step in that process asks you who the started by person should be. Note that pictures are not exported or imported.

In the back of my mind, I think someone might have had another way to do this. You might want to search the forum.
