To be honest, I don't actually think calculus solves Zeno's paradox either, I was just using it for the sake of the argument.

I'm of the opinion that Achilles and the Tortoise is solved by there being a smallest distance, a pixel (Not smallest measurable. Smallest period.)

I make amends with Achilles' Arrow by believing the universal clock is independent of the moments that it measures -- like the internal clock of a computer's being independent from a pixel arrow moving across a pixel screen.

But the point of Zeno's paradox is to show that our model of reality is purely definitional, rather than objective in any absolute sense.
