Some that you might consider:

One can remove the thymus, which would be similar in immunologic function to the spleen and appendix.

Half the population (female) is quite happy to live without testicles... and the other half seems to live without ovaries.

You might add half of the kidneys to your list.

And, if you don't mind being plugged into a machine 3 times a week, one could live without both kidneys.

There are people who have a total colectomy. Of course, it is not without its downsides, but it is an option for some patients with ulcerative colitis.

The uterus is important for child bearing, but not vital post-child bearing years.

Some organs such as the pancreas, thyroid, or parathyroid might require hormone replacement therapy if removed.

Some organs such as the eyes or tongue or ears would be non-lethal to remove, but would involve serious loss of function.

Routinely transplanted organs are: heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, pancreas, small intestine and cornea. Other transplants are available, but are not routine.

Which organ can die by a strike but you can still live?

What do you mean by "die by a strike"? If you mean "which organs can you live without", there are several: many of your glands, your uterus, your ovaries, your testes, your external sex organs, your appendix, your spleen, your gallbladder, your tonsils, some of your lymph nodes, your colon (with a colostomy), your pancreas (with supplemental pancreatic enzymes and some hormones) and even your kidneys (albeit with dialysis), and . I might have forgotten some - it's a miracle what modern medical science can accomplish.
