Cannot set default file associations for .xml files

I'm on MacOS Ventura. I use it for work so MS Office is installed. No matter what I do, XML files seem to always want to open with MS Word. I want them to open with another app. I'm using TextEdit as an example here: I've done the standard Right click > Open with > Choose TextEdit > "Always open with" method. This opens the file with TextEdit this one time, but system-wide XML's remain associated to MS Word.
