Getting subtitle out of FCPX - a big problem!

Hello all,

I really hope that someone could help me.
Let me explain: I have a full-feature doc that was completely edited and graded in FCPX (23.98fps). So far, so good!
I hired a translation company to subtitle my film in English and Spanish. They delivered me 2 srt's. So far, so good!

To ingest this srt, I purchased Spherico X-Title Importer and voila, all subs were in my timeline. I made necessary adjustments to them and was ready to go. So far, so good!

I need to keep the format I did to the subtitles, so I need and STL. I exported the XML to Spherico X-Title Extractor, to make the STL. A BIG PROBLEM!

What is happening is that the subtitles are getting out of sync. It goes well at the beginning but at the end I get 3 seconds or more of sync.

Just to inform you that the project is 23.98 and the subtitle's project is 23.98 also (a must to export the XML to Spherico).
But somehow it's not working and some encoding houses are demanding me a solution, that I don't have.

Are there any other way to get a STL out of FCPX?
Please note that I can't use an SRT because of the font format I need to keep. See an example attached. In some parts I have 4 lines of subtitles, 2 on the upper side and 2 on the downer side.
Any help will be much appreciated!
Thanks.
