Overall, is it bad to take an SAT II 3 times for the schools that will see?

Yes.

The difference between a 770 and an 800 is statistically insignificant IMO. Even if you were to retake and get an 800, this could hurt you, as some of these colleges that evaluate holistically, like Cornell, may wonder if there is more to you than a test taking drone who has nothing better to do on a Saturday.

Move on. Do not retake. Spend the time finetuning your essays, which will help you more than a 20-30 point bump on a subject test.
