A) Gandalf: Gandalf never touched the thing directly. As mentioned above, he used tongs with Frodo; with Bilbo he picked up the envelope the Ring was in, but not the Ring directly.

B) Gil-Galad: Conceivably, Gil-Galad was touched by the Ring, rather than vice-versa, in the last moments of his life.
