I believe Delta website only allows maximum of 3 gift cards if you book and pay online, but if i want to use more than 3 gift cards, can I use them over the phone?

It used to be that if you used a gift card for a purchase and then cancelled within 24 hours you would get an e-credit for the purchase rather than the money reloaded to the gift card. In this way you could use the gift cards, get a refund, and then use the larger voucher(s) to purchase the ticket (and use more gift cards).
I've never tried this - I just know that a few years ago I got a voucher when I asked for a refund on a gift card purchase within 24 hours. Not sure if this is still the case today.

This is the way to do this.

How about buying a fully refundable ticket and waiting a few days. There used to be some good fully refundable fares out of SEA.
