The AEB range on a 6D is -3 to +3 EV. I normally set up my my AEB to take 3 shots at -2,0,+2 or -2.5,0,+2.5. I used the results for exposure "safety", to create an HDR if candidate scene is suitable, or creative work with over and under exposed frames.

I sometimes use a cable release and a timer for long exposures and I noticed that when I use 5 - 7 exposures created in this way and these have more less increment amount of exposure time to create an HDR the result is better and easier to work with.

Can I set up my 6D to take 5 or more auto bracketed exposures at say -3,-2,-1,0,+1,+2,+3 EV?

Note: I am too afraid to install magic lantern on my 6D but am willing to experiment with it on my 60D if this is something that's possible.

Yes you can. Refer pg 305 of the standard English manual.

Custom function C.Fn I-5 'Number of bracketed shots'
0: 3 shots (default)
1: 2 shots
2: 5 shots
3: 7 shots

FYI: C.Fn I-4 lets you change the sequence of brackets shots - this could be useful when creating HDR shots as the order of the photos is from lowest to highest exposure value.
0: 0 - + (default)
1: - 0 +
2: + 0 -
