Apparently only Mathieu group M12​ and Mathieu group M24​.
www.maths.qmul.ac.uk/~pjc/pps/pps9.pdf mentions:
The automorphism group of the extended Golay code is the 54-transitive Mathieu group M24​. This is one of only two finite 5-transitive groups other than symmetric and alternating groups
Hmm, is that 54, or more likely 5 and 4?
scite.ai/reports/4-homogeneous-groups-EAKY21 quotes link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2FBF01111290 which suggests that is is also another one of the Mathieu groups, math.stackexchange.com/questions/698327/classification-of-triply-transitive-finite-groups#comment7650505_3721840 and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathieu_group_M12 mentions M12​.

scholarworks.sjsu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=https://www.google.com/&httpsredir=1&article=5051&context=etd_theses proves that the Mathieu group M24​ is simple in just 200 pages. Nice.
Examples:
  • the alternating groups of degree 5 or greater are simple
