I found a way to get the original owner's phone number!
Starting from the activation lock screen, create a quick note consisting of any text by highlighting text and sharing it with quick notes. (NOT the "Notes" app)
Afterwards, click the paperclip icon and take a photo. Click on the photo to fullscreen it, then share it with Books.
Click on the profile picture and try to create an account, eventually it'll ask you if you want to use a certain phone number. To my knowledge, that number should be the owner's.
Tested on iPhone 14 Midnight, On iOS 26.3.1
NOTE: if you are having issues, just restart the phone.
