My analysis:
Given the pre-flop action, AK isn't gonna be in his range. The only thing that really makes sense here is 33 or 77. Given I am blocking one of the 3s, 33 is very unlikely.
77 is the only thing that beats me that actually makes sense here. Otherwise I was putting him on Ax one pair hands.
Could I have gotten away from this? Perhaps with 2 players in the hand? Or just a cooler?

Turn raises are usually pretty nutted at these stakes. I guess he might have two pair sometimes (e.g with K7s, A7s). But a 7x turn raise is a pretty big red flag.
In single raised pots when the flop SPR is that high, you want to be careful playing for stacks, even with two pair. Two pair is great when you get to showdown for a medium sized pot, or in a low SPR situation, but it kind of shrivels up when the stacks go in in a single-raised pot.
Generally overfolding to massive bets prints money at the micros.
