I'd consider getting different pedals. The lean angle allowed by pedals varies significantly, and if you have some wide pedals with big cages, you can pick up a lot of clearance...
If you have pedals that allow a decent lean angle and still strike your pedals, then I'd consider coasting instead. Pedaling around fast corners is not a good habit. I learned this when racing, on a criterium course in Portland on wide streets. I broke away and was hoping to stay away until the finish. In a few corners, my pedals lightly touched the ground during every lap, until, with one lap to go, I touched a little harder and crashed. I think it was Greg LeMond who said that if you can pedal through a corner, it means you weren't going fast enough on the straights. At slow speeds, you often have to pedal around corners just to stay upright. In those situations, you aren't leaning much, and toe overlap is your big problem, not pedal strike.
