Raise more.
I know this doesn't always work and we still get a multiway pot, but the bigger percentage of our stack we put in preflop with big TP/overpair type hands, the more easily we can commit on flops, even if it does go multiway.
I had a similar situation my last session out with AA at one of the loosest 1/3 NL tables I've ever played at. A couple of limpers to me on the button, where I would typically make it about ~$20 at a normal table, but at this table I made it $35. Yes, a mere 12x the BB. Anyways, I get 3 callers; lol, standard. Obviously, I didn't like the fact I got 3 callers, but each of the callers were playing only about $235 stacks (~80bbs), so these morons got in about 15% of their stack preflop. I resigned myself to the fact that if any of these guys outflopped me then they can have my stack. A notorious donker donks $30 into a $140 pot on a T95r board and is meekly called. With still one person to act behind me, ya, I'm afraid someone has flopped a set or two pair, but whatever, the pot is already $200 and every villain has <= a PSB left. So I shove. Donker calls with the monster known as overs + gutshot and the meek caller hero folds TP, and my hand holds up.
Your situation is sorta similar. The first guy who called got in >10% of his stack preflop not knowing if this was going to go multiway, so I really can't fault wanting to shove (and w makes some pretty good arguments for this). But if we simply made it $20 preflop, or $25, then our decision here would be even easier.
