I'm afraid this accidentally went through once already while I was in
the midst of editing it; this time it's for real.

I would try something like this:
STRING(REGEX REPLACE "^foo" "" VAR_WITHOUT_FOO ${VAR_WITH_FOO})
Then if ${VAR_WITH_FOO} is "foobar", this will set
${VAR_WITHOUT_FOO} to "bar".
(I've been using a similar device, except that in my case I'm
stripping stuff from the end of the string.)
