I mean if we gave stockfish a whole additional knight or queen can it beat Magnus?

Computers started beating the leading grandmasters in no-odds matches at least 30 years ago. Kasparov lost his match to Deep Blue in 1997.

/ A more interesting question would be to see if Magnus could beat Stockfish if it spotted him a knight.

It's actually very unlikely that Magnus beats stockfish in a normal game of chess, Stockfish is rated hundreds of elo points higher than any human. I'd say the best one can reasonably hope for without a handicap is a draw against the engine.
