Replace a sequential set of numbers with special character

I have a *varchar(200)* column that contains entries such as, ABC123124_A12312 ABC123_A1212 ABC123124_B12312 AC123124_AD12312 A12312_123 etc.. I want to replace a sequence of numbers with a single * so that I can group the distinct non-numeric patterns in the table. The result for this set would be ABC*_A* ABC*_B* AC*_AD* A*_* I have written the following primitive query below, it works correctly, but takes a long time to run on a huge table. **I need help with rewriting or editing it to improve it's performance. SQL Server 2014**

-- 1. replace all numeric characters with '*'
-- 2. replace multiple consecutive '*' with just a single '*'

FROM TABLE_X

### Data The column includes letters and numbers [A-Za-z0-9] and may also include the special characters / and _. I want to replace any sequence of numbers with *, but I do not know if the entry has special characters, and if so how many special characters. I also do not know how many sequences of numbers are in the entry. All I know is that an entry must have a minimum of 1 number sequence.
