I've never controlled it with an Omni, but it's probably possible.

You should be able to set the local planner of move_base to an omni-controllable planner. Set it in base_local_planner of move_base.

A candidate local planner to set is dwa_local_planner, which is included in the navigation stack. It has a setting for y-axis control. acc_lim_y, max_vel_y, min_vel_y, vy_samples.

Also, if you are using amcl for self-position estimation, changing odom_model_type to omni may improve the accuracy of self-position estimation.
