Would you work 7 days a week to pay off debt?

Hypothetical question - would you work 7 full days (more than one employer) if it brought in another 6 to 8k after tax which you could use to pay off a huge amount of debt. or would the exhaustion, lack of social time, family time not be worth it. 7 days office related jobs.

No.
6 days, for a while, maybe.
7 days with no downtime, nope. Not unless there was absolutely no option and I'd go under otherwise. My day job is quite stressful and I value my health (particularly my mental health) too much to jeopardise it with burn out.

All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.
