Regex how to escape double quotes if needed

I need to convert all big integers to strings in my response json. Currently my regex look like this

preg_replace(
            '/:\s*(-?\d{16,})/',
            ': "$1"',
            $content
        );

But problem with such regex is that if my response contains another json string then bigints inside it will be wrapped in string too, but without escaping. Is there any way to escape appended quotes in such case? Or maybe fix incorrect json with another regex?

Example

{"example_bigint": 3330922503411457761} 

will be converted to

{"example_bigint": "3330922503411457761"} 

but

{"example_json" : "{\"example_bigint\": 3330922503411457761}"} 

will be converted to 

{"example_json" : "{\"example_bigint\": "3330922503411457761"}"} 

when expected output is

{"example_json" : "{\"example_bigint\": \"3330922503411457761\"}"}

There is a flag in the json_decode function:

$myJson = json_decode($jsonString, flags: JSON_BIGINT_AS_STRING);
