I’m trying to remember if the actual word “Gabbatha” is in any of the NAB translations, or if the scholars didn’t think we could handle the word and changed it to “Stone Pavement.” (Which I know is in at least one account of the Passion of Christ.)

Yeah, it's in the NAB.

The original Greek identifies the term as Hebrew and translates it for the Greek-speaking reader. The Greek more or less means 'a layer of stone' - i.e. a stone pavement. Somebody who speaks Hebrew will have to opine on "Gabbatha".
