Ask final offer to multiple companies?

Have 2 offers from FAANG and 1 from startup. Maybe I'll pass startup but not yet decided between FAANG, and they both know there is a competing offer from each other.
Would it be too risky to ask "I want XXX more, and I'll take whoever accept it first"? Maybe it will end up bad and I'll end up begging one of them with their original offer but just want to try if it's not too offensive.
Too nervous to share details which can reveal my position. Will update after I accept offer.
Current TC: 200K at L5

I’ll be joining one of FANG soon and had 4 competing offers. They knew about it (mentioned right before the final round in order to rush on getting the result)
There was going back and forth at least two (max three) times on every offer.
How I did was
First round - state my value and ask more.
Second round - brought my other offer TC and company name and asked more (some others don’t recommend revealing the company name, but I did 😅)
Third round - kindly forced them my most offer deadlines are coming soon, and hoping to see if they can match TC xxx ( or match to xxx on one of the components ). I told them if so, I’m ready to accept. Blah blah
Everything was very very smooth without burning the bridge.
These took only 2 biz days. As long as they want you, I believe there should be somewhere in the middle.
