Default Adjusting strategy for the habitual reraiser

Situation: 6-8 handed, level 3-4. You are one of the higher middle stacks at the table, but there is one big stack with everyone outchipped by quite a bit. He is in the BB when you are OTB, and in SB when you are in CO.

You frequently in these levels like to open-raise from these positions with a variety of hands that can stand a call but can't really stand a reraise (think around the area of A9s, KJ-KTs, QJs -- that sort of thing). Fairly standard I think

How do you adjust your play when the big stack decides it's his agenda to defend his blinds with a hefty reraise on nearly every steal you make -- and in fact, even defends his button at times. Do you open up your calling ranges for his resteal, or do you just stop stealing? One of the major reasons I do (reasonably) well in the $11s and $22s that I play in is because I get a lot of chips in levels 3-5 stealing blinds. If I am being out-lagged, do I just stop stealing?
