surely you would want your money in 60-40 at least (rather than at best), therefore you cant call with a hand like k7. my range is 88/aj+

The guy who keeps pushing all in blind is seated immediatly to your right..so every unopened pot he will push, this leaves you with no opportinuty to do the raising to nick the blinds in the first place.
You don't have a lot of chips left, admittedly 3 rounds before you start to get in trouble so you could wait for a decent hand for a while, if the guy pushes in late position and I find myself on the button or BB/SB and think the other two will fold I'll take that 60-40 shot any day of the week.

I can't believe how tight you guys all are here.

I start calling with a decent King..hell even King7 or King8 (preferably suited but if not than not) will do. What do you guys think Serial pusher has? Any King with a 7+ kicker is likely to be ahead more often than it's not and therefore uyou simply have to call and try to get yourself some chips. This is not the time to freeze-up, let the guys know that when they're autopushing they will be called by you. If you do that the first time and win they will think twice before doing it again..especially on your BB.

 so you call with K7 and he has K9 ?? you call with K 10 he has A2 ?? the point here is to wait for a solid enough hand where you are fairly confident you are ahead , and even if you are not , you have a hand which is worthy of the call , tbh a King with no kicker doesn't do it for me . wait for a better spot than K high.

There is significantly more to be made if you DO happen to win a K8 call though. Sometimes you are out yep life goes on but the message of - I called you with K8, get the hell off my blind and nobody bluff me i'm a bloody nutter will help you go on to win the tournament alot of the time.
