Recreational opens to 5x preflop, and a player with a lot of stack called in position, well, I don't like calling with almost anything here, unless hands like 22-66, when I know the BB player isn't too much of a Squeezor.

When we do call with QQ here we are hoping to setmine and this is awful. 
Coming back to the recreational player, and considering SPR, when it opens preflop and BTN calls, we are going to see better hands on CO's ranges rather than in BTN's range okay? BTN has a lot of speculative hands that could have called here, so for all of these reasons we should be Squeezing/Jamming preflop with at least JJ+, if we are too much scared and we don't want to fold 88, 99 and TT, okay calling this huge polarized preflop opening (5x), but given this scenario it is best to put Villain/CO/Broken Stack Rec into all-in by making a non-sense 3-bet/Squeeze that would jeopardize BTN's cold callling range, because we don't believe BTN has something like 88+ or even AT+, QJs+ etc, BTN has weak hands so I guess that it sucks for us but a best strategy, overall, to face polarized opening raises versus multiple callers, versus a broken stack fish, is to be either folding preflop or making a Squeeze/Jam preflop so we give no odds for the player in the BTN.
When we do call preflop it can happens something like this where we have pretty sweet equity on the turn but we cannot jam, because we are in a guessing game.
