This can probably be optimized, but this should do the trick reasonably efficiently. I'm sure someone can figure out how to do it in one line of code.

set x to "abc.def.ghi"
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "."
set y to every text item of x
set z to first item of y
if (count y) < 3 then return (z)

repeat with i from 2 to (count y) - 1
   set z to z & "." & item i of y
end repeat
 return(z)


StripSuffix("word.doc.pdf")

to StripSuffix(x)
	set my text item delimiters to "."
	return reverse of (rest of (reverse of (text items of x))) as string
end StripSuffix
