This is how I adjust. I limp-call, occasionally limp-reraise so they are afraid of my EP limps, and make it difficult for players to get a 3bet pot and isolate. My strategy is to force this player into playing single-raised pots with 5+ players seeing the flop, while playing a range that does very well in that scenario. (This would be in a 5/5 game with a 2500 max where I may buy in for 1000.) I usually have the effect of causing pots to be smaller pre when I don't fold (and I fold a lot), but when I am in there, sometimes, I create huge all-in pre pots with either aces or isolating against likely aces with a ton of dead money in the pot.
I'm mostly a nit who occasionally picks spots to play hands like the way OP described to make myself unpredictable. I don't feel comfortable doing that above 5/5, so I tend to stay in my lane and play at that level.
The action junkies who play this way end up getting dominated and stacked. The good players who play this way can be frustrated when I make it harder to play their preferred style and sometimes go on tilt because they have to behave or pick one hand to go to far with.
