I'd do that to the center section and see if the two sides could be improved enough without going whole hog on them to match the middle well enough.
I think it's possible, it will just take a lot of care and patience.
If stain matching is new to you, you can take a piece of the table to a paint store, along with a few pieces of the type of wood the table is made from and get a stain mixed that will get you in the ball park. Get a few ounces of the various tints used so that you can adjust the color as needed. I think you can get pretty close, if you play with it some.
Somebody like Zeke might get it closer, faster... but patience is a key tool.
Probably lots of videos on Youtube, if you want to learn what's what.
You may never get it perfect but perfect isn't always the goal.
