If you have semi-decent timing, you can use very basic armor and a flail as basic as the ball o hurt to defeat it. build a sky bridge first. when the wyvern spawns, jump out of the way the 1st time. then run in the opposite direction from it for about 10-20 blocks, not too far but a little bit away from it. The idea is it will return to attack you coming down at you at about a 45 degree angle. If you start running towards it again just as it turns back to you, then it will over shoot you and not touch you. As you go by, try to line up a hit with the flail. If you time it right, it'll get around 10 hits in each time. Then reverse directions, rinse and repeat.

Basically, get the wyvern to run a figure-8 and keep turning around and running at it. Once it's in the figure-8 pattern, no jumping is required. It helps to have hermes boots or another movement enhancemnet.
