Breadth of Experience is probably your best option. Another possibility is the Investigator class. One level of Investigator makes all Knowledge skills class skills and gets you Inspiration, which lets you add 1d6 to any skill check. You have a limited number of points of Inspiration, but you don't spend points for trained Knowledge, Linguistics or Spellcraft checks. Three levels of Investigator lets you use any Knowledge skill untrained.
