Using 2024 rules Lucky Feat
Basically, can you use the luck point or steady aim to give myself advantage for sneak attack?
Yes. That's what both of those things do: give you advantage. If you're a Rogue, having advantage on an attack roll allows you to use Sneak Attack (provided you are using an appropriate weapon and haven't already used it that turn).

Thank you for settling this.
No problem!

A slightly longer answer, just for precision;
You can use them to give yourself Advantage to get the Sneak Attack damage as long as something else is not giving you Disadvantage.
Advantage and Disadvantage cancel each other out, but they don't do it on any sort of 'one to one' basis. What I mean by this is that you could have half a dozen things giving you Advantage and if you have a single thing giving you Disadvantage then you roll normally.
Thank you for this clarification. It’s been the topic of discussion at the table.
If a rogue is within 5ft of both an enemy and party member, and the for whatever reason the rogue has disadvantage on an attack roll. Could the rogue use steady aim or lucky to negate that disadvantage and still have Sneak Attack? Does just having disadvantage to begin with negate the ability to sneak attack?
Yes you could use Sneak Attack in this case
If circumstances cause a roll to have both Advantage and Disadvantage, the roll has neither of them, and you roll one d20.
