Exploiting resistances+shields isn't a stretch, for instance along with GS he can abuse the bonus AD with Nullifying Orb as well as MoM with the MR, add to it Janna's shield which grants more AD.

The concept of abusing Gargoyle's Stoneplate on Cho'Gath is that his ult scales with his health, which is increased by the item and already has infinitely increasing health from last-hitting with R, and since the ability deals true damage isn't mitigated by GS's active damage reduction, so you end up with a 14k HP behemoth that likely cannot be killed that one-shot anyone for 3k true damage.

Similarly happens with Pyke, the health increase means more bonus health which means more AD, and although the ability's damage likely isn't true damage itself it is stated that executes targets below a health threshold, and if that works similarly to Urgot's R, that means the moment the ability hits a target beneath the threshold they take true damage which isn't mitigated by GS's active. Worst case scenario is that the health threshold also scales with AD.

Pyke has more difficulties, but I am pretty sure that can still be tank-exploited.
