If it’s just a couple of classes and they are actually suitable for serializing and you have the source code then you can shadow them in your own project with the serializable interface added. Your shadowed classes should be on the classpath before the library’s versions which should lead to spark being able to use the serializable versions.
That’s very much a last resort though!
