You need to iterate the array, apply your preparation for each object and then merge final array into request parameters.

protected function prepareForValidation()
{
    $parameters = $this->all();

    array_walk($parameters, function (&$object) {
        $object['account_id'] = Account::select('id')->where('name', $object['account_id'])->first();
    });

    $this->merge($parameters);
}
