Fold preflop.

In such a multiwaypot KQs is crapshit ♦ If you hit the flushdraw then you can go all in with so many people but every K and every Q on flop may give you reversed implied odds due to domination. Hands like 87s are playable in such multiwaypots because there is no danger of being dominated and thus it plays better But just with a larger stack than 20BB

As a <20BB Shortstack this is an easy fold. If you like you could somehow squeeze it ♦ but due to the odds for the other players they will call you a lot but this could be profitable, but call is a No-Go for me.
