Call me Pollyanna, but I prefer to think that Harry's ability to love 
will save him and will somehow kill LV (otherwise, what's the point?  
We already know he would sacrifice himself to save those he loves).  
We've had hints that Harry doesn't have enough hatred to use the AK 
curse (FakeMoody's comment re the class giving him a nosebleed and 
Bella's comment that you have to "mean it" or whatever she said.  
Harry's attempt at the Crucatious Curse was pretty much a failure.)

Because Harry and LV are "connected," I don't see why Harry couldn't  
summon LV's rage (which is obviously sufficient to kill) and use it 
against him by reminding LV of all of the people who love him 
(Harry), and thus, cause LV to feel love, which he can't stand.  The 
trick would be for Harry to sustain the warm fuzzy long enough 
without LV somehow escaping it. It would be very fitting if Harry 
could harness LV's rage/hatred/whatever and then use it to kill LV.  

Would that be worse than death to LV?  Possibly.  For someone who is 
convinced that he is or is going to be invincible, I think the 
realization that he is wrong and is, in fact, going to die, and is 
going remembered for being defeated by the thing he despises the most 
could be worse than death. (Of course, this all assumes that DD's 
comments about things being worse than death are from LV's view, and 
not DD's).
