Your characters are a bit underleveled, but you might be able to win this.

Damage over time effects are fairly effective against DIO - you should be able to inflict OnFire fairly easily with some of Deep Puple's stronger attacks, and it will keep hurting him during time stop. You can try using Poison Gas too, but I'm not sure how resistant to Poison DIO is.

Even if UV lasers deal a bit less damage than your attacks of choice, you should still use them - they are infinite use, so you save some SP this way, saving turns you would otherwise use to recover it. It also has a chance to Blind, although DIO is somewhat resistant to it.

Didn't experiment much with other status effects, so you might be able to disable him with something like Confuse or Sleep, but I wouldn't count on it.

If you desperately need to heal someone, you might want to have them guard while someone else uses an itm. You lose a turn of attacking, but they might survive another hit.

Unless he can be completely trivialized by some effect, there will still be some luck involved with him to dealing too much damage during time stop.

I think DIO and The World have the same status effect resistances. Not 100% sure.
