You can use diary sexps (
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Sexp-Diary-Entries.html).
For example:

* TODO something Mon, Wed and Fri
  SCHEDULED: <%%(memq (calendar-day-of-week date) '(1 3 5))>

See the bottom of https://orgmode.org/manual/Deadlines-and-scheduling.html

I don't use this, so I don't know what the practical limitations are.
