As others have said, / isn't a valid character in Windows filenames, so
finding a Windows machine probably won't help (perhaps this is just a
very unlucky random bitflip, or it was written on some embedded device
that doesn't implement the FAT filename rules properly).

"fsck.fat" from dosfstools usually does a decent job of fixing FAT
filesystem errors. The man page says it'll check for invalid filenames,
so that'd be worth a try.

Alternatively, the FAT directory format is very straightforward, so you
could fire up a hex editor like "tweak" on the block device, do a string
search for the invalid filename, and overwrite it with something more
reasonable.
