do you even need a 3bet calling rangE?

tighten up. and call oop more with hands that dominate but are not good enough to 5 bet, etc.

or stop 3 betting oop

call 4bets

5bet bluff

I would say, if you can handle high variance : 5bet more, if not for low variance, tighten up.
first would be better oop, and second in position.

tighten up imo and call in position with good hands that flop well and 5bet/shove hands like AK/TT

There is an alternative to tightening up that I like, and that is to just alter your 3bet range (but keep the same %) to one that can shove 100% over his 4bets. So something like 99+,AQ+ with the occasional small pair and Axs; just make sure that you are shoving 100% - it's great fun.

this is nut advice.

the guy does that for a reason and everybody wants to play into it?

you can 3bet pocket pairs with the intention of 5bet shove as semi bluff, since there's a good chance that he will fold his 4bet to your 5bet shove
and when he calls, there are less combo's of pairs than broadways/highcards ( 6 each pp, and 16 each broadway), so you would flipping most of the time when he calls, and you would be 40/60 vs his calling range most of the time, which is good since he is probably folding a lot

but you shouldn't go too crazy, use this kind of strategy just when you feel you must
