I'm glad you posted this as there's a lot to think about, but these are all pretty big problems. If you had Ac8s you'd have a better bluff catcher.
Incoming tl:dr
First and foremost, you really need V to be a good enough player to frequently bet bet a hand like JJ for value
becasue without that level of thinking (bc your range isn't exclusively OPs that would ck-c turn) I just can't give him credit for being good enough to frequently bet bet hands worse than A8 as a bluff.
So what realistic bluffs does a nittier thinking player have here on the riv? Well, again, becasue he isnt betting pairs for value on turn/riv, that really should limit his float, semibluff bet, 2/3 pot bluff frequency with, say, AQcc+/9Tcc? becasue you unfortunately block looser PF open-calls you really need him to have (Ac8c, Kc8c, Qc8c, Jc8c, Tc8c) to consider calling A8.
What about all other T8s+? again, those hands call flop always, but a nittier guy likely cks turn very frequently. Maybe he floats KTs bdfd/sd and bet bets??? (lightly blocking your OP/value range that takes this line? Really? He ain't thinking like this). Wishful thinking, but you need those hands in his range frequently enough as well.
Muddying up the waters is that he has a value range that gets wider on this riv. He is incentivized to bet KK+ now (he flat pre I'm sure sometimes) and his FHs and straights are still gonna pound away, becasue, that's what unbalanced nittier "2/5"players do to make up for all the passivity - and they get called by the fish (not you), and then the good players tilt through their skin (you).
Bottom line: The times he's bluffing he's bluffing with a better hand (that he still checks back a lot too) and he's not bluffing enough (given what you've told us) to bluff catch A high.
