I don't see why Coefficient[] doesn't work?
In[1]:=
d = (a*x + b*y + c*z)^5
Out[1]=
(a*x + b*y + c*z)^5
In[2]:=
Coefficient[d, x^2*y^2*z]
Out[2]=
30*a^2*b^2*c
In[3]:=
Coefficient[d, x*y*z^3]
Out[3]=
20*a*b*c^3
In[4]:=
Coefficient[d, x*y^3*z]
Out[4]=
20*a*b^3*c
Unless, of course, I didn't quite get your question.
