Rather than have a loop inside the BEGIN / END, you could put the BEGIN EXCEPTION END inside the loop, catch the error, store the important parts of the exception in a variable, and then do the COMMIT after the END statement but before the next iteration of the loop. A bit messier, but it gets the job done.
