Here is all gradle commits history.

You can try to install them by replacing the commit of the relevant version inside the brew command

brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/<COMMIT>/Formula/gradle.rb

Looks like installation from a GitHub url doesn't work anymore, but you can download the file and run it locally with
brew install --build-from-source gradle.rb
