I'm sorry to say, I don't see any easy way to do this with OpenSSL. You have
two choices:

1) Roll your own on top of SSL, using algorithms similar to those in
RFC4851. (As I suggested in a previous response.)

2) Don't use SSL. Use your own symmetric encryption algorithm, and use the
pre-shared secret as (or, better, to generate) the key for the symmetric
algorithm.

Perhaps I missed something and there is some easy way.

Of these two, I would recommend option 1 because it provides better data
integrity checks. With option 2, a MITM could corrupt the data and it
wouldn't be detectable.
