well tbh i would be shocked if his calling range was much looser, and i suspect his reraising range is literally the same as his calling range.

my equity is definitely 52% against AJo+ 99+, I poker stoved it, and it sounds intuitively right to me anyway.

maybe his range is wider, but do you really find that to be the case vs passive preflop villains?

one more thing: how can pushing a 52% edge be +ev when you need to win 52.5% of your games to break even?

yes pushing small edges is widely considered to be optimal, but by edge i think "edge of greater than 52.5%" is actually what is meant.
