I figured it out, so here's how for the next person who needs it.

Example file name: Science Stories 123 (02-1949)

Search field: Title
Search for: Science Stories \d\d\d \((\d\d-\d\d\d\d)\)
Replace with: \1
Destination field: pubdate

The key part that I was missing was (\d\d-\d\d\d\d). Gotta wrap it in parentheses.
