should i even make an attempt at this or just give up?

I would just give up. Pot is fairly small and he raised preflop.

Why not? You're getting 5:1 on a bet, and I'd say there's a 16% chance you'll get a Q/J/T-high to fold. QQ will know his hand is dead to Ax, so why not give it a shot? Obviously it will be the last bet you put into the pot, but by checking he is surrendering his own chance to buy it. Another thing to consider is that if an A or Q falls on the river, it could be chop and it would be nice to take the pot now before that happens.

I have one more go. It's going to be difficult for Villain to call here with less than an A in a modest pot given the action thus far. He's also unlikely to be "buffing" you with a worse hand. You might be pushed off a draw to a split vs a Q or J, but you probably make up more than enough in bluff equity to compensate for losing half the pot sometimes.
