Default NL Cash - how to deal with calling stations

I had a pretty donkish villain at 1/2 NL on Stars last night, I ran him over early and then he pretty much evened it up. But this was his tactic, and I'd like some advice on dealing with it.

A) Play 60% of all hands, limp about half of them on the button.
B) When faced with a raise after a button limp, snap call. Proceed to snap call the flop and turn 80% of the time. If it's checked to him, minbet and snapcall a raise. Call a triple barrel with bottom pair on board even though I'd only been bluffing at small pots.

So how do I adjust?

* Putting pressure on him didn't seem to work because he wasn't being moved off pots.

* Tightening up didn't seem to work because I was playing so many limped pots with him out of position, but c/f seemed really week to do over and over since I wasn't making any hands. So I felt obliged to make moves on some pots, which kept ending futilely since he would call me down so light.

Essentially he was an ideal opponent, because he would call my raises in position with hands like 26o and give me great value on 2 or 3 streets of betting when I hit. He would also allow me to see tons of flops for free, and again pay me off if I hit. But when I stopped hitting, his calling station ways became very frustrating and I probably tilted off half a buyin just trying to win a pot.
