If you have brought your Quen up to a decent level then you beat this dude by just letting him hit you, which will damage him without regenerating him. This strategy works on other monsters as well so long as you watch your Vitality and have plenty of food and/or potions to heal any damage inflicted. When he gets his shovel stuck, roll in and whack him with a strong attack (you did oil up with Superior Relict Oil, didn't you?) and roll away.
