Which you can do using 

select="translate(substring-after($num, '='), '"', '')"

If you want to handle a more general pseudo-attribute syntax in your
processing instructions, there's a rarely-used extension function 

http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/extensions/functions/getpseudoattribut
e.html

that allows you to do it directly:

<xsl:template match="processing-instruction('docpage')">
  <xsl:processing-instruction name="page">
    <xsl:value-of select="saxon:get-pseudo-attribute('num')"
xmlns:saxon="http://saxon.sf.net/"/>
  </xsl:processing-instruction>
</xsl:template>
