Found a workaround

<?php
namespace App\Casts;

use Illuminate\Contracts\Database\Eloquent\CastsAttributes;
use MongoDB\BSON\ObjectId;

class ConvertArrayObjectIdToString implements CastsAttributes
{
    public function get($model, $key, $value, $attributes)
    {
        // If the value is an array, convert each value to string
        if (is_array($value)) {
            return array_map(function ($item) {
                // Convert MongoDB ObjectId to string
                if ($item instanceof ObjectId) {
                    return (string) $item;
                }
                return $item;
            }, $value);
        }

        // Convert MongoDB ObjectId to string
        if ($value instanceof ObjectId) {
            return (string) $value;
        }

        return $value;
    }

    public function set($model, $key, $value, $attributes)
    {
        // No transformation is applied when setting the attribute
        if (is_array($value)) {
            return array_map(function ($item) {
                $objectId = new ObjectId($item);

                return $objectId;
            }, $value);
        }


        if ($value instanceof ObjectId) {
            $objectId = new ObjectId($value);
            return $objectId;
        }

    }
}
