How to beat Galio as Lulu: the early game

Levels 1-3 favour you: Galio's early is short-range and spell-reliant, so your Pix poke and Glitterlance slow punish his walk-ups and let your ADC farm ahead while he struggles to trade back. His early kit is short-ranged and needs a wind-up, so poke him from outside it and let the shield cover the chip. Keep Pix on your ADC. Hold the polymorph for his dash rather than his tornado, since cancelling the engage is the only thing that matters in this lane.
