Except in specific spots (such as tournament situations where ICM factors mean you have a lot more fold equity than usual), it's usually a mistake to 3-bet light with total garbage. When there is a decent chance that villain calls or 4-bets, your 3-bet range should contain "playable hands" that have solid equity/playability.
e.g. If MP opens, then the BTN might 3-bet hands like A5s or 65s by default (along with some monsters), but not 84o.
