I thought that worked, but I haven't tested it in quite some time.

How about setting the value to a temporary variable, then stripping from that 
when you reassign it to CALLERID() ?

Also, you're using name, and I think you meant CALLERID(num)?

exten => s/_+X.,1,Set(TMP_CID_NUM=${CALLERID(num)})
exten => s/_+X.,n,Set(CALLERID(num)=${TMP_CID_NUM:1})
