The best you can do is (prin1-to-string '(foo.bar "baz")) and then do a search-and-replace of the "\\.". But note that the "." is escaped this way in order to avoid ambiguity with the "." used to separate the car from the cdr of a cons cell, so you should not unescape every single "\\.", only the ones where the reader recognizes the "." has being part of the symbol.
