I don't think this is complicated at all. Here's one strategy:

1- Attempt to steal the blinds every time with a raise to $30. You'll win an average of $7.50 each time he folds preflop.
2- When he calls, bet only if you hit something. Assume for simplicity sake that your equity in the flop is only 35%, or about $20 of a $60 raked pot. Thus, on average you're going to lose $10.00 on any hand that goes to a flop ($20 - $30). I realize this is a little oversimplified, but hopefully this little analysis will help get the point across. Here's your overall EV in 100 hands:

77 won preflop (since his VPIP is 23%, he folds 77% of the time preflop) = +$577.50 EV

23 hands to the flop = -$230 EV

OVERALL: +$347.50 EV or +$3.48 per hand.

This is why you should steal from a 23/8 like crazy. His 23/8 is just a losing HU strategy. Further, if he has this major preflop leak, he probably also has some major post flop leaks. Try to figure those out and you'll win even more.
