That is frustrating, of course. If you're able to talk to the server
operator, get them to see value in improving their TCP response.

If it's still causing you problems, you have the option of advertising a
bigger EDNS0 buffer size to that specific server with something like
this in your config:

server a.b.c.d/n {
  edns-udp-size 2000; // adjust appropriately
}

Read the BIND documentation for details so that you understand this fully.
