Doesn't help here, at least not directly. It would help indirectly
because isolation level serializable makes it very proable that
serialization errors occur. So an application designed for serializable
would have some kind of retry logic already in place. 

SO that leads as to another solution:

Retry each batch (possibly after reducing the batch size) until it
succeeds.
