No period after "1.1" above - makes things slightly more difficult.

This might be a bit overzealous if there are more numbers with a period
after them. Another way would be to add ^\(\**\) at the beginning of
the regex (and a \1 in the replacement) and go through the file as many
times as there are nesting levels.
You could also try Elisp as the replacement - see
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Regexp-Replace.html,
https://www.masteringemacs.org/article/evaluating-lisp-forms-regular-expressions
and
http://mbork.pl/2013-09-18_Selective_replacement_in_LaTeX_documents_(en) .
You could probably use keyboard macros, too - see e.g.
