This is the details of the hole.

120 m long with slight uphill making it played probably like 135-140 m long.
There's mild headwind most of the times.
Right side is OB with a tree on both right and left side of the fairway around 20 m from the teebox
The hole is par 3 and it's really challenging even for me to get par.

How would you birdie it?

Depending on how strong the wind is: Roc drive to middle of the fairway ~200-225ft from the teebox. Roc upshot, drop in three. (For par)

For birdie, Valk up the gut.
 
A 140 m hole is 460 feet. The only way I get a deuce is to knock down my 150 foot approach. I put a more overstable disc (to help combat the headwind) into the fairway, put my second inside the circle and take my three.

I wouldn't. It sounds like a big arm hole, there's no chance I can reach putting range from the tee. The only chance I have at a 2 is a throw in from the fairway.
 
Have you ever tried a roller? I'm not really into them, but I know some guys who can stretch their distance with rollers, and having the disc low to the ground should help keep it below the worst of the wind.

120m = 393'

If I can get to 363' or closer - then I have a legit chance at putting out for a bird.

363' slight uphill, I'm taking either a TeeBird with no wind or a beat in Destroyer with a little wind and throwing it on a flat release with a slightly higher than normal trajectory, hoping to get some turn and minimum fade.

My favorite trick for max distance uphill shots: high glide, lighter discs will lift up the hill. Domey 150 class star TeeBird (mine is 159g) is perfect for this shot.
 
Not gonna lie, I'd take a 3 on this hole.

I've played several uphill shots in the low 300's and typically use a lighter disc with a slightly higher release and get close enough for a deuce. However at the range you've described (393-450ft) I would try a long distance drive in Blizzard or Starlite plastic, chances are I would still fall incredibly short and relay on my mid to bring home that deuce. In other words, I would be taking a 3.

You could also attempt a roller, I'm not even going to pretend I can throw rollers, but I would definitely try it in this case. Thinking maybe a star mamba, RHBH power level >9,000 and hope for the best.

Perhaps you should instead be asking how to avoid a 4.

Avoiding a bogey is just as important as getting a birdie. On this hole, it sounds like trying to get a birdie is fruitless, and may cost you throws if it takes time away from learning to avoid a bogey.
 
Seems like a once a year birdie to me. I would just huck my longest neutral driver up the gut.
