You can install Hiren's BootCD on a multiboot usb stick using YUMI:

Works great along Windows installers or other tools (UltimateBootCD, BartPE, PartEd Magic and so forth).

Another interesting option is Ventoy https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html

You can boot ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files from a usb drive drive.
Once Ventoy is setup, on the drive, you just copy over the files you want to boot. Memdisk and many other options. The memu is generated at boot time. To remove a bootable file, just delete it.

I've only used it once. The problem I had, is that I set it up with ExFat. Not every O.S. i use supports that. But I'm pretty sure there is an option to use different formats. Can't remember if ExFat was the default. Maybe it has something to do with contiguous files. I know that makes a difference, in some cases.
