I am replacing my outlets in the kitchen to GFCI (w/stainless steel
countertops I thought it might be a good idea...). I know 20A GFCI

Actually the branch feeders only have to be 20A, and the GFCI's can be
15A(with 20A) passthru.

outlets are now code in kitchens. Can anyone tell me if the outlets
serving the microwave (above stove, plugged in inside cabinet), fridge
and stove need to be GFCI outlets? These outlets will be used
exclusively for these appliances, and will not be accessible via the
countertop. Thanks.

I recall the code saying if you have outlets not serving the counter
top, having dedicated loads(refridge, etc), and aren't readily
accessible, then you can omitt the gfci requirement.

In no way take this as fact, you need to reference the code, and find
out if your local authority inacted further restrictions.
