AA with a bad flop but rivers a set, how to get most value? Should I even be at the river?

What hands does hero have that are worse than whatever his 2P was, assuming he flopped 2P? What would hero turn into a bluff here?

Worse hands that are still in: AsXs, KsXs, and there are a few 9cXc, 8c7c type hands as well, maybe JcTc (or a sticky 88 that didn’t fold turn).
