First, check the XMLToCursor() help. You will notice that in the third parameter, you can use 1024 ( NOCPTRANS ), which transfers the data as a byte per byte basis.
If this does not work, check if creating an XML Schema will work: i never used it, so i can't help you there.
Finally, if all the above does not work, do not use XMLToCursor, but rather use a loop through the XMLDOM. Just load the file into an XML Object, and write a loop that writes records to the cursor. I know this method is a little tedious and generally slow, but note also that you cannot use XMLToCursor for complicated xml structures anyway ( i.e not flat tables ).
