If you are doing ROV on IOS(-XE), you need to be aware of the
surprising default behaviours. See:

Not sure what you are saying, but you need to completely drop invalid
routes. Lowering local-preference is not enough. This has nothing to
do with AS0 ROA's.

You research the IPv6 address used for the invalid test, and check why
it is reachable from your routers. Are invalid v6 routes in your BGP
table? Do you have a default-route? What does the FIB do and why? This
has less to do with ROV and is more about basic network
troubleshooting (BGP -> RIB -> FIB).

$ host -tAAAA invalid.rpki.cloudflare.com
invalid.rpki.cloudflare.com has IPv6 address 2606:4700:7000::6715:f40f
invalid.rpki.cloudflare.com has IPv6 address 2606:4700:7000::6715:f40e
$

So it looks like 2606:4700:7000::/48.

Just start with normal, basic troubleshooting, looking at FIB, RIB and
BGP table outputs of the offending IP.

A different software stack can be beneficial, yes. I suggest you take
a look at the Fort validator, it's a great piece of software.
