If you're not willing to cbet at least 1/2 pot, don't 3! AQo pre. Betting 1/3 pot just induces light raises or shoves from maniacs and lets draws improve almost nearly for free.
I'm guessing villain isn't doing anything too complicated here, e.g. his thinking is "I have a piece of the board, therefore chips go in".
The problem is that we're still a pretty big dog against anything that has a piece of the board.
I think I can find a pretty nitty fold here, despite V's description, mostly because my games don't have people who stick it in pre with Q7o.

Complete maniac, bluffing like crazy and has been doing stupid things like calling off his whole stack preflop with Q7o.
So how many buyins has he lost so far? Cuz the answer to what to do in this hand really depends 90% on how good your read is. The problem with assigning a range to this guy is that per your description his range is really 50% of hands. If that's the case, we're still not crushing it, but we're definitely calling here.
