Default Short stack late tourney survival strategy?

Let's say you're playing a typical online tourney. 700 entrants. 200 players remain. Pays out to 60th place. Average stack is something like 4200 and you're sitting on 1000. Blinds are 100/200 (1/5th your stack).

You've hit a cold run of cards. Q2o, 83o, etc. What is your plan?

When you see a reasonable hand, let's say a pocket pair or a broadway is your goal to push pre flop, or make a modest raise. That is, a raise that's modest relative to your opponent's stack, but big compared to your own (400?). The goal of such a raise being to get more than one caller, then go all-in on the flop in an attempt to better than double up?

Even if you double through someone in this situation, you're still going to be relatively short stacked. What kind of strategy is ideal?

This would be a low buy-in tourney (20+2 or something like that).
