seems like a pretty easy fold to me. we've invested $7 into this pot. unknown makes a 6.5x raise. kind of annoying to fold the NFD but its fine to fold here.

i dont mind a lead on Kxx boards since we expect a significant % of Kx holdings to raise preflop. in big blind we obviously credibly have K8/K5/85.

I'm not one for adages but, don't go broke in a limped pot. Check flop. 6 way, there's a good chance we'll get favorable odds to stack more than 1 person.

Check flop in a limped pot. If I'm betting I'd make it $15 which is what I'd bet with value too. $7 just sets up a lot of nice squeeze spots and while we can always call a bet we can't call a raise.

As played I look left. If both players look like they may call, I call. Readless just fold.

you can either x/r or x/c (and stacking off if 3bet over our x/r), leading flop is kinda useless since all we really do is just build a small pot to win if we hit or just donate to someone with a pair. No FE in a $7 bet so the semi-bluff doesnt work, and what usually ends up happening is they peel one then just fold turn anyway.
