AK... too strong!?

On the flop you could easily be behind to AA,KK or QQ. But then you could be ahead of JJ or TT, or chopping with AK.

I seriously doubt JJ/TT would go full-throttle on a board with two overcards.

I think this is a WA/WB situtation (as JJ-TT are drawing thin, AA-QQ have you pwned, and AK is chopping -- what about AQs or KQs? Doesn't really change anything either way), and as such I just call down unless something weird happens.

Once you raise and get popped again, is it really worth it to take this to showdown? It'll be 2 more BB for a 11BB pot; so you need to be good more than one in 6 times. Buh. The problem is the most likely 3-betting hand that you aren't dead meat against is one you are chopping with, which hurts your equity. So you are either going to showdown to either get pwned (as you have no redraws against any of his holdings that beat you) or to chop. Wahoo.

An aside:

I disagree, especially considering BB's restealing range here.

I think that's giving the BB waaaaay too much credit. I would only widen the range against a thinking player who is position and situtation-aware; which is quite the rarity at this limit.
