A3 tough river spot with trips NL5

Blinds: $0.02/$0.05 (6 Players) MP: $3.94
CO: $8.84
BN: $5.67
SB: $4.95
BB: $8.21 (Hero)
UTG: $8.39
Preflop ($0.07) Hero is BB with A 3
2 folds, CO raises to $0.12, 2 folds, Hero calls $0.07
The CO has been playing pretty loose so I thought A3s wasn't a bad call in the BB
Flop ($0.26) A 2 Q
Hero checks, CO bets $0.16, Hero calls $0.16
Pretty standard call on the A high board.
Turn ($0.58) A 2 Q A
Hero checks, CO bets $0.36, Hero calls $0.36
Pretty good turn for us so I think a x/c is best. If I lead out he will raise with better hands and some bluffs and will probably fold all his Qx and pocket pairs. The same goes for a x/r.
River ($1.30) A 2 Q A 5
Hero checks, CO bets $1.00, Hero folds
Pretty much the worst river as only the KJ/KT gutshot missed but the flush draw gets there, so does the 34 draw and he fires a slightly bigger 3rd barrel. I can't think of anything I'm beating as all Ax above 5 is winning, A4 is chopping and A2 obviously is a full house. He's been playing loose but I can't see him betting Qx 3 streets here so I just fold.
Final Pot CO wins $1.25
Rake is $0.05

Would like to hear if anyone is calling the river and why? Obviously we have trips but I don't think we're beating much of his range at all (if any). I think the rest of the hand before plays out as standard but if anyone would change preflop or the turn specifically what would you do and why?

Thanks :)

its a fold b/c people do not 3brl bluff nearly enough - just look at other posts on here - most don't do it enough

I'd c/r OTT I think because when he 2d barrel, I don't think he'd do that with a lot of Qx, so I mainly put him on a FD and I want to value against that range (and when you raise OTT, he could even call you with Qx sometimes since you don't rep a lot of hands or he could try to bluff raise you with a GS or a FD). As played, I'd fold like you did OTR.
