I might have a found a way that doesn't mess up the patch after saving,
but I still consider it somewhat hack-ish.

I'm not clear of the purpose of what you want to achieve, though. You
can only convert the receivenames to use $0 once, so it seems easier to
use a text editor to edit the pd file. Or if you set the receive names
dynamically whenever you fire up the patch, you could instead use the
real number instead of the variable $0.
