[Bug]: error "unknown option" raised when using @babel/node as CLI
### 💻

- [ ] Would you like to work on a fix?

### How are you using Babel?

@babel/register or @babel/node

### Input code

Since the latest version of `@babel/node` I can no longer use custom args in CLI. I guess it's related to the commander update.

I've created a repo to reproduce the bug: https://github.com/j0k3r/babel-commander-bug

The [first commit](https://github.com/j0k3r/babel-commander-bug/commit/3b195a48ab848b0276bf59a733ee313dc6a5637b) is using `@babel/node @ 7.23.9` and the output of the `scripts.js` is:

```bash
$ yarn babel-node script.js --dry-run
yarn run v1.22.21
warning package.json: No license field
$ /private/tmp/babel/node_modules/.bin/babel-node script.js --dry-run
{ developer: 'bob', 'dry-run': true }
✨  Done in 1.06s.
```

The [second commit](https://github.com/j0k3r/babel-commander-bug/commit/c2233e3bbfc363892b4b83e50b39bb1ca719fa05) is using the latest version (ie: 7.24.6) and I got an error:

```bash
$ yarn babel-node script.js --dry-run
yarn run v1.22.21
warning package.json: No license field
$ /private/tmp/babel/node_modules/.bin/babel-node script.js --dry-run
error: unknown option '--dry-run'
error Command failed with exit code 1.
info Visit https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/run for documentation about this command.
```

### Configuration file name

package.json

### Configuration

_No response_

### Current and expected behavior

Both version should be fine with custom args in CLI.

### Environment

- Babel version: 7.24.6
- node version is unrelated I guess

### Possible solution

Maybe I do it wrong when using `babel-node` as CLI?

### Additional context

_No response_
