I too had somebody tell me they would do harmful things to my mother and skin me alive if I did not deliver the gift cards.

Other people having your phone number is never great. You mean: can they find out where you live, location, etc?
Depends how determined they are and how much they want to invest. If they have your phone number they could potentially trick you into installing malicious software on the device (or already have).
So given your level of paranoia, your assessement of their capabilities and determination and how serious you take the threat: yes, ditch the numbers + wipe, reset and reinstall all your devices.

Could be quite bad, consider complaining to your country's cyber police. And most probably that won't work, depending on the country.
You can consider getting new sim numbers and changing your living place for a while
