Since you subjected the sorcerer to great additional risk to use Wish to become a dragon (and the sorcerer really wished to be a dragon) you should treat this as a change in reality rather than a magical effect that can be dispelled. I would treat this as if the sorcerer had cast True Polymorph (another 9th level spell) and concentrated for the entire duration to make the transformation permanent. I gave him exhaustion and said he needed time to recover from the ordeal, but I really need time to figure out what to do with him. So I set up a roll table: 00-10 killed him or similar, 11-35 turned him into an egg or against the party or a few other creative things, 36-50 the spell just failed with all of the negative effects of the wish spell gone wrong, 51-80 gave some cosmetic changes, 81-97 adjusted stats a little (can no longer hold weapons an shields but breath weapon is stronger etc.), 98-99 and it actually worked.

I was considering going with the "the spell failed" option, but decided to have a little fun with it. This spell might simply fail, the effect you desire might only be partly achieved, or you might suffer some unforeseen consequence as a result of how you worded the wish. The DM has great latitude in ruling what occurs in such an instance the greater the wish, the greater the likelihood that something goes wrong. State your wish to the DM as precisely as possible. You might be able to achieve something beyond the scope of the above examples.
