You will have to mess with the meta tags, since there's no other way to fix this problem other than by hand.

Extract the epub file with a ZIP unarchiver, open each XHTML file and delete the meta tag. Then zip everything back up and open it in Sigil, then resave.

Done.

Shouldn't take you more than a minute.

There's nothing I or anyone else can do, the epub files are faulty. If you bought them from a store, feel free to complain to them about the quality of their files.
