How much does it hurt? I am an AA male 167 (retaking in Oct) 3.55 hoping for Harvard.

Short answer: Doesn't hurt at all. Non-law work experience is probably better. Law-related work experience is fine though, and better than no work experience.

Very few of the people I went to school with at HLS had anything remotely related to legal work experience, so you should be fine.

Look at LSN. While you're not a lock, URMs with similar GPAs and MUCH worse LSAT scores have gotten Harvard.

It's still stupid not to retake. OP has nothing to lose and a lot to gain by at least trying.

There is perhaps merit to what you're saying, but ten bucks says that regardless of what happens in October, this is OP next year:
