Try something like this:

  <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
    <xsl:output indent="yes" method="xml"/>

    <xsl:template match="/root">
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="*[1]" />
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="*">
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::*[1]" />
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Which will generate the following output:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
  <foo1>
    <foo2>
      <foo3/>
    </foo2>
  </foo1>
</root>
