You have no hand and not much of a draw, six outs that may not be good. I fold. It's not as if you can outplay him on future rounds or anything, he's all in.

I would have raised more preflop 4xBB doesn't make 57o hit the fold button at these levels.

This is the correct advice, with the wrong thinking. I as well would have raised more preflop, but I would have welcomed 57o to try and outflop me.

Hero didn't raise preflop, he cold called Button's 4xBB raise. In BB with AQo, I would have folded to that preflop raise. You're OOP and may already be dominated. That may be tight, but tightening up has been working wonders for me recently.

Easy check/fold on the flop.

Depending on button button raising standards, either reraise and put him in (his huge scary stack), or, more probably, fold.

I think you have to fold the flop with your position being so horrible. You don't know anything about the three other people's hands.

Agreed. If you are going to play this hand OOP position, I think you must reraise pre-flop to define the hand. Or else you simply fold and let it go at that. I'd like to think I would have reraised and put the button all-in preflop. Calling here is the worst choice, I believe.
