You can use the Wildcard plugin from JAXB2 Basics. This allows you to customize lax/skip/strict wildcard binding modes:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
    xmlns:jaxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb"
    xmlns:wildcard="http://jaxb2-commons.dev.java.net/basic/wildcard"
    jaxb:version="2.1"
    jaxb:extensionBindingPrefixes="wildcard">

...

    <xs:complexType name="issueJIIB10Type" mixed="true">
        <xs:annotation>
            <xs:appinfo>
                <wildcard:lax/>
            </xs:appinfo>
        </xs:annotation>
        <xs:complexContent mixed="true">
            <xs:extension base="xs:anyType"/>
        </xs:complexContent>
    </xs:complexType> 

...

</xs:schema>

You don't have to change the schema for this, you can use this customization via binding files.
