just give him a benefit of a doubt, you can't always make the best decision on the spot
is that something you thought of right there and then while you saw it in the film or is it something you thought of afterwards? while waiting for the end credits as the credits roll? or a year later when re-watching you go, "maybe he should have just tortured the doc"?
how many times has it happened to us where "you know what, i should have done that instead of...."
I understand it as a plot point and its part in the "Dr. Strange finally gives up his selfish ways and understands sacrifice" story arc, I just think its weak.
And, yes I was in the theater thinking "that's it? He defeated an immortal enemy that can destroy planets by putting him a Ground Hog Day loop?" I liked the film but that was a weak ending IMO. You're correct that Dr. Strange could've done that time loop for centuries but it certainly wasn't portrayed that way in the film. It looked like Dormammu gave up after 4 or 5 loops.
