I don't know if XPath can read from a file, but I doubt it.

I think you will need to use a script to pre-process the file into the
appropriate expression.
It can then be stored in a variable which you can use in the XPath GUI field.

Either store the generated expression in a file which you then read
with CSV Dataset or StringFromFile, or read the stop words and use one
of the scripting languages in JMeter (Javascript, Jexl or BeanShell)
to process the words into a variable.
