Questionable cbet turns underfull; how to play final two streets?

Blinds: $0.25/$0.50 (4 Players) CO: $51.60
BN: $91.47
SB: $103.83 (Hero)
BB: $42.38
CO has only been at the table for about 3 hands at this point.
Preflop ($0.75) Hero is SB with Q Q 8 4
CO calls $0.50, BN folds, Hero raises to $2.00, BB folds, CO calls $1.50
It's a pretty weak QQ combo, but I've found that ISO'ing out of the SB after just one player limps wins the pot immediately often enough for this to be a viable play. I'll tend to have pretty good visibility with sets and flushes, so I'm not super worried about that.
Flop ($4.50) K 2 K
Hero bets $2.75, CO calls $2.75
I don't super duper love this cbet, but there are reasons to make it: I can use some protection against Axxx, my Qh4h make it less likely that CO will have a flush draw, and—outside of K, 22, and AA—I'm actually pretty strong right now. I think it's an okay if non-mandatory bet/fold spot.
Turn ($10.00) K 2 K Q
Hero checks, CO bets $5.00, Hero calls $5.00
I felt like check/calling earned me the most money from worse hands here. hh and JT can semibluff, but if I bet and the pot starts getting really big I think I have reason to worry about being second-best.
River ($20.00) K 2 K Q 3
Hero
Similar thought process to the turn: with losing hands, I think villain can bet wider than they can call.

hh misses, but I have hh so it's a less likely that they had that. How to extract max value from worse without value-eviscerating myself against overfulls?
