(And I think it's "Egads!", not "Gads!") ;o)

Would "Gadzooks!", then, be considered an errant reading?

Good question! Both are on dictionary.com, so I suspect either reading would be considered acceptable. But "gads" was not listed as an acceptable alternative for either one, not was it listed by itself.
