“For each unknown power you tell me how to masster, or other ssecret you tell me that I desire to know, you may name one more of thosse to insstead be protected and honored under my reign.”
1) If Harry was able to give Voldemort an infinite number of powers, through the use of recursion or some mathematical trick or something—some way that Magic Itself will consider to be a large/infinite number of separate but related powers,
and
2) If Harry was able to enunciate in some way an infinite number of beings which would Voldemort would then be required to spare, which would include all of the inhabitants of the earth (even future ones?).
Then Voldemort will be tricked into having promised to spare every human.
3) If there is some Magical reason why Voldemort would be constrained to keep his promise, (even though he feels he had been tricked), then Voldemort might be rendered unable to harm anyone.
I dont know if this is at all useful, but it was an idea I had which I haven’t seen posted by anyone yet. (Thought I havent looked around at everything).
Parseltongue isn’t Unbreakable Vow, it doesn’t prevent people from changing their mind. Any attempt from Harry to abuse the promise like that will probably make Voldemort reconsider and no longer allow to name new persons for the same “class” of powers (like, early in the year, he said things like “no more body parts” when Harry was enumerating lots of body parts he could use to kill someone).
If there is some Magical reason why Voldemort would be constrained to keep his promise, (even though he feels he had been tricked), then Voldemort might be rendered unable to harm anyone.
There needs to be another Magical effect which causes Voldemort’s parseltongue statements to become binding in some way.
Voldemort has promised in Parseltongue:
1) If Harry was able to give Voldemort an infinite number of powers, through the use of recursion or some mathematical trick or something—some way that Magic Itself will consider to be a large/infinite number of separate but related powers, and
2) If Harry was able to enunciate in some way an infinite number of beings which would Voldemort would then be required to spare, which would include all of the inhabitants of the earth (even future ones?).
Then Voldemort will be tricked into having promised to spare every human.
3) If there is some Magical reason why Voldemort would be constrained to keep his promise, (even though he feels he had been tricked), then Voldemort might be rendered unable to harm anyone.

Statements in Parseltongue aren’t binding vows, they’re just honest statements of intention.
Yes I agree.
There needs to be another Magical effect which causes Voldemort’s parseltongue statements to become binding in some way.
Are you asking for suggestions???
