Default Minimum hand to raise HU vs almost all-in player

Assume you are on Party, with its escalating blinds. You are heads up against a tight-weak player that has frequently folded to your preflop raises, and is now extremely short stack.

The blinds are 250/500. After posting the BB, he has 750 left, and you have 6750. Despite his having folded the last several hands, and despite the fact that he is very tight and weak, on this particular hand, he will call with any 2 cards if you put him all in.

Knowing, this what range of hands will you raise with, knowing that he will call with any two?

The reason I ask is because if you fold, he will have $1500, but if you raise him all-in and he calls and wins, he will have $2500.

Knowing all this... what is the minimum 2 cards you will have before you raise him all in?

My "normal" heads-up range pre-flop raising range includes AA-22, any ace, any king, QJ-Q8, JT-J7, connectors (suited or not) T9-56.... and any two if they have been folding a lot but still have a decent enough stack to fold a little bit more.

What should I add in this situation?
