truncating leading zeros of a column in a file

Hi

I have a file in which I have 5 columns which are delimited by “|” as shown

ABC|12|YAK|METRIC|000000019.5

XYZ|10|ABX|META|000000002.5





Now my requirement is to take the last column trim the leading zero’s for that column values and write back to the same file in the same order.

Any suggestions regarding the same?
is der any file utility do the same?

Thanks
Narendar
