Is there a way to make the parser just skip/ignore invalid characters

No. The file is malformed. The processor will give up and stop 
parsing it. This is one of the fundamental rules of XML. Whatever 
process is producing the malformed data should be fixed. By the time 
it gets to the parser, it's too late.
