How to Handle a Ridiculous UTG Overbet?

My favorite is the massive PF overbet followed by the weak probe when the flop whiffs.

I guess it's just a bad streak to run into aces twice (perhaps three times) holding AK when I faced a ridiculous over-bet UTG/EP. I think it's a no-brainer if my M is dropping but it sure hasn't worked out for me in these three situations.

Interestingly I made the FT in the tourney which I called and folded to the AI whereas I obviously cashed $0 on the other two.

Maybe I should raise 10X BB UTG/EP with aces and see if anybody sees me for a donk and calls with AK, AQ, high pairs etc.

LOL. And you see this all the time. Blinds 15/30, EP bets 350, two callers, flop, EP bets 30.
