Default NL50: adjustment question

VPIP IP/OOP 81//55
3b: 24
FCbet (samples): 8% (12) / 17% (6) / 20% (5)
RCbet: 17% (12)

How would you adjust your ranges vs this guy? Would you still play 100% OTB given that he clearly defends more than 37.5% and seems to play back a lot? Would you maybe decrease your opening size?
Since these guys don't fold anything I often find myself betting ridiculously thin for value and if I chose to bet, I'll almost always at least fire 2 it not 3. This means that I'll sometimes have to giveup (i.e. 65o on T92r, T5hh on Jh5s2s, K2s on 993r and the like) because I can't fire multiple barrels everytime. The problem is that since my range is so weak, he can basically just bet twice with anything once I checked back.
So I'll have to choose between passing on clear value with a valuehand that I decide to bluffcatch with or I'll have to check back and c/f almost every single time because he can discard so many hands from my range. Is there anything I can do about this?

I was also a bit suprised about my high F3b% which was higher than 80. Then I filtered for r/f pre and found a lot of trash hands (53o, 97o, Q3o, 54o, T2o, T6o, Q9o, T5s, T9o) which I all folded to a 3b. I don't like putting in 4bets w/o any playability or defending superlightly when I don't have many reads on my opponent's 3b-PFA-OOP game. Would you still play one of those hands in any way (we were 150BBs deep in the second half) or is it okay to have such a high F3b over this smaller sample if you don't pickup any hands?

If hes playing 55/24 from the BB and also not folding postflop, you dont want to open 100% otb. Hard to say how much lower eactly, but Id scale down slowly as I get a better sample on his postflop tendencies
