I don’t know any way to do this with the normal page numbering feature. There are a couple of options. First, you could use paragraph numbering, then convert the numbering to “real” numbers, and then run the find/change. (But after you convert the numbers, it will no longer update automatically.)

and

Or, someone could write a script to do it.

Here are some attempts:
