CompositeShape proximity sensor

I'm designing an environment where it's important to track whether or not the subject is on or off a particular path. The path is fairly simple, composed of a QUAD_STRIP. However, the proximity sensors just provide Box and Sphere.

I'm generally ok with the amount of slop introduced by rounding up each quad in the quad strip to be rectangular and a Box. Ideally, it seems like a CompositeShape sensor composed of a Box for each quad in the strip should work well. But the Box shape assumes axis alignment. Sensors attach fine to their parent's coordinate system, and then rotate accordingly - but Boxes themselves don't have parents, and a CompositeShape seems to therefore only be able to be made of boxes aligned to the same coordinate system.

Suggestions? Am I missing something?
