You may try to:
1) prepare the table using -p
2) alter the table to use varchar for the date field
3) fill the table using -a
4) fix the dates within the db

Or, which could be a good investiment of your time, look
at "datestyle" setting as hinted... there might be a style
in which '0' is accepted.
