1/3 Iso raising over short stack

Typical loose/passive table with not a lot of 3betting going on. Rest of the villains were more like 100bb+eff
H (UTG) (covers)
V1 (MP) ($90)
V2 (HJ) ($150)
V3 (BB) ($35)
H(UTG) opens to $15 w/55, V1 calls, V2 calls, V3 jams $35,
Hero makes it $105.
With the dead money in the pot, i thought this would be a better line than calling/folding.
Thoughts on this line?

Well, the money isn't actually "dead," but their ranges are both capped and doing well against 55, so getting the other 2 vs to fold their equity is fine.

Is this a full table? Raising 55 UTG is too loose if so, especially at a loose table with shortstacks on it.
Reraise looks fine. If you flat and then they shove you can't really fold anyway, so you may as well.

This is 1/3 NL, right? Stacks are way too short to be opening speculative hands in EP. I actually fold 55 in EP at most tables now.
As played, I would also reraise (jamming) and live with results.

At a table like this I’d just limp in up front. Table is passive so it often won’t even get raised PF.
As played I think making it $105 is fine. You are more likely to run into AK and AQ type hands that decide to call at a passive table, but villains 1 and 2 also likely have lots of junk in their range that will fold to your big raise.

Results: V1 called off their $90 stack with A4s and scooped while V3 had KJs. Obviously hoped to get it HU with V3 but didn't work...
