Use a feeder to a sub panel with a breaker you can find.

Siemens makes a 3P GFCI, and Murray and Siemens are the exact same thing other than the label.

But, ... doesn't that label become a "thing" these days?

Not if its on the side where it wont get noticed when installed
I dont know if Siemens says they are interchangeable or not. I guess the different label could impose negative deractance on the sperthing bearings of the trip mechanism which would obviously be a problem.

I didn't even know Murray (Siemens) had any 3 phase equipment unless you have a really old (pre- Crouse Hinds) panel. Siemens marketed the Murray line as residential. I also don't think I have ever seen bolt in Murray breakers.
It's kind of a moot point anyway. Murray circuit breakers were discontinued by Siemens last year. The rest of the Murray line will be discontinued this year. Siemens has a cross reference chart you can show inspectors if questioned that Siemens breakers are the replacement for Murray.

I just looked up the cross reference chart and they do list Murray 3 pole breakers so apparently they did have 3 phase equipment. They don't show any 3 pole GFCI's.
I was installing quite a bit of Crouse Hinds equipment in residential projects before Siemens acquired the line. After that the supply house I was getting the equipment from switched to a different manufacture so I never really followed what was happening with Murray. Siemens dumped all of the original Murray products after the acquisition and just marked their own equipment with the Murray name.

I use Siemens for pretty much all my three phase loadcenters and true panelboards. I dont recall ever using a Murray loadcenter. I knew there was three pole murray stuff because a few times in a pinch I used a three pole murray if they were out of the siemens one. But I didnt know they discontinued Murray recently.
