Those strings ought to be amenable to machine recoding as they're most likely UCS-2 or UTF-16. (Obviously bear in mind that you have to take into account the byte-ordering.) Otherwise, from what you have printed, you could write an editing script to detect the string "^@ and then delete every other character until you reach ^@" (or are about to delete a space) and treat that extra ^@ following the space. Post-processing with a script would save a lot of handiwork.
