   Might not be more elegant but here is another solution,

   mat =  Array[a,{6,6}];
 

 ( mat//Flatten)//.
       {a[x_  ,y_?EvenQ ] ->0, a[x_?EvenQ  ,y_ ] ->0}//.
         { head___ ,0, tail___ } :> {head, tail}//
                    Partition[#,3]& //MatrixForm 

 

  

 

a[1, 1]   a[1, 3]   a[1, 5]

a[3, 1]   a[3, 3]   a[3, 5]

a[5, 1]   a[5, 3]   a[5, 5]
