You can do what I do and use something like
Freecommander and bulk rename those files, easily lopping off the front end. Once this is done the following regex in Adding books should work for you. Just don't ask me to explain it.
Code:
^((?P<author>([^\-_0-9]+)(?=\s*-\s*)(?!\s*-\s*[0-9.]+)|\b))(\s*-\s*)?((?P<series>[^0-9\-]+)(\s*-\s*)?(?P<series_index>[0-9.]+)\s*-\s*)?(?P<title>[^\-_0-9]+)
