Merely get into the habit of unclipping and placing your feet behind you when you turn the front wheel sharply.
No more foot overlap.
I own bikes with either toe overlap or no toe overlap. As others suggest, accept it as the personality of the bike. Toe overlap is only an issue for a fraction of the time the bike is ridden.

A further counterpoint is...consider with smaller bikes in particular, designers create bikes knowing there will be toe overlap understanding this is not a desirable trait.
Why is that? Its because designing it out for smaller frames is more downside than not having toe overlap. Change to overall riding characteristics of the frame is less desirable than toe overlap. Designers know this. You can try to violate the design created for a given frame but most of the time it will be the wrong direction as the guys that create the frame and choose a given fork for a frame tend to know best...perhaps not always but vast majority of the time.
