As a last ressource, one can try to edit the dxf in a text editor, or with an automatic processor like sed, of course after having backed up it
one just need to rename all ocurrences of "blockname-0" "blockname-1" etc to "blockname"

For example, with sed one could run

cat file.dxf | sed "s/block name-.*/block name/" > processedfile.dxf
should rename any block name-whatever to just block name in just one run and put the result in a file called "processedfile.dxf"

This works fine in a small dxf I made for testing, hope it works too for more complex drawings
