First, as was seen in OVA 8, when Alucard is entering level 0 it doesn't matter one iota how much he gets wrecked. In fact, we see him reduced to a cloud, but that doesn't disrupt the ritual.

Second, out of the two, Alucard actually has a way to finish the fight. Two ways, in fact.

The First is to use Sunlight. Dio can stop time, but still dies in the Sun, or at the very least, loses his ability to regenerate. Alucard, on the other hand, is able to move freely in Sunlight, giving him periods where Dio is severely limited, whilst he has complete freedom.

The Second is to drink Dio's blood. That's it. If Alucard can get a single bite in on Dio, the fight ends, because whilst for Dio, blood drinking is purely biological, for Alucard it allows him to absorb the souls of his victims, meaning that Dio would end up, much like Rip Van Winkle and The Dandy Man, as thralls within Alucards Reign.

In other words, only one combatant has a path to victory, and it isn't Dio.
