MySQL: Error Code: 1118 Row size too large (> 8126). Changing some columns to TEXT or BLOB

I want to create a table of 325 column:

CREATE TABLE NAMESCHEMA.NAMETABLE 
(   
      ROW_ID TEXT NOT NULL ,        //this is the primary key

324 column of these types:
      CHAR(1), 
      DATE, 
      DECIMAL(10,0), 
      DECIMAL(10,7), 
      TEXT, 
      LONG,

) ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED;

I replaced all the VARCHAR with the TEXT and i have added Barracuda in the my.ini file of MySQL, this is the attributes added:

innodb_file_per_table=1
innodb_file_format=Barracuda
innodb_file_format_check = ON

but i still have this error:

Error Code: 1118
 Row size too large (> 8126). Changing some columns to TEXT or BLOB may help. In current row format, BLOB prefix of 0 bytes is stored inline.

EDIT: I can't change the structure of the database because it's legacy application/system/database. The create of a new table, it's an export of the legacy database.

EDIT2: i wrote this question that is similar to others but inside there are some solution that i found on internet like VARCHAR and Barracuda, but i still have that problem so i decided to open a new question with already the classic answer inside for seeing if someone have other answers

I tried all the solutions here, but only this parameter

innodb_strict_mode             = 0

solved my day...

From the manual:

The innodb_strict_mode setting affects the handling of syntax errors for CREATE TABLE, ALTER TABLE and CREATE INDEX statements. innodb_strict_mode also enables a record size check, so that an INSERT or UPDATE never fails due to the record being too large for the selected page size.
