In each of the branches of that repository, you can add the Jenkinsfile and have it perform the checkout of the repository / branch that you're not able to change. That allows you to have a repository with a branch per build (which is what multi-branch pipeline wants), and you can place a Jenkinsfile at the root of each branch to control what it is building.
That creates a "builders" repository where you control the Jenkinsfile, and that Jenkinsfile references the repositories and branches being built. I used that technique to "test drive" a pipeline configuration for a component that wasn't ready to use Jenkins. The official source repository didn't know that I was test driving, and I was able to make rapid progress without complaints about my Jenkins experiments.
