The first 364 days after his birth would be year 0
That's not how it worked.
You could say, that's how it SHOULD have worked, but it didn't work that way in reality.

Year zero does not exist in the Anno Domini system usually used to number years in the Gregorian calendar and in its predecessor, the Julian calendar. In this system, the year 1 BC is followed by AD 1. However, there is a year zero in astronomical year numbering (where it coincides with the Julian year 1 BC) and in ISO 8601:2004 (where it coincides with the Gregorian year 1 BC) as well as in all Buddhist and Hindu calendars.

I saw an old black and white movie named "Panic In the Year Zero" so that is definitive proof that there is a Year Zero.
I believe that is what is referred to as a Primary Source.

Begin counting, as you were taught in kindergarten.
Which number did you begin with?
There's your answer.

Some historians put Jesus birthday around April, but I've seen none that had it at January 1. So, whatever year he actually was born, would be off anyway.
Interesting enough, it’s only been in the last few hundred years that we’ve (English Empire and it’s colonial influences) considered January 1 to be the start of the year - that’s why President Washington has two birthdays.
