Your approach is wrong. Stop putting villain on a hand, and start putting him on a range. AQ/pp is not a particularly likely range for any villain.
Villain 3bet pre. AA is most certainly in his range. He probably hasn't got it because we have a blocker, there's only 3 combos of AA (and KK), compared to 6 of QQ and JJ, which makes it 2x as likely for him to have QQ or JJ rather than KK or AA. But he can still have them, so saying "I don't think he has AA" is basically as useful as saying "I don't think he has 78s" or "I don't think he has a cat". You're guessing. Don't guess. Put AA in his range, because he can certainly have it. On this occasion, the presence of AA in his range is not make or break, but it might be if villain is particularly tight. AK is a fold if villain is 3betting only QQ+ AK, but it wouldn't be if you convince yourself AA isn't part of his range for whatever reason you make that determination.
tl;dr - put villain on a realistic range, and make your decisions based on how your hand holds up against that range.
