I'm using the https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/webtorrent/latest/webtorrent.min.js in the browser.

On the latest chrome browser.

var client = new WebTorrent()

var torrentId = 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:99feae0a05c6a5dd9af939ffce5ca9b0d16f31b0&dn=TPB.AFK.2013.480p.h264-SimonKlose&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.leechers-paradise.org%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fzer0day.ch%3A1337&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.demonii.com%3A1337&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.coppersurfer.tk%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fexodus.desync.com%3A6969&tr=wss%3A%2F%2Ftracker.btorrent.xyz&tr=wss%3A%2F%2Ftracker.fastcast.nz&tr=wss%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openwebtorrent.com';
client.add(torrentId, function (torrent) {

  var interval = setInterval(function () {
      log('Progress: ' + (torrent.progress * 100).toFixed(1) + '%')
    }, 1)
// Torrents can contain many files. Let's use the .mp4 file
var file = torrent.files.find(function (file) {
  return file.name.endsWith('.mp4')
})

// Display the file by adding it to the DOM.
// Supports video, audio, image files, and more!
file.appendTo('#div', function (err, elem) {
  if (err) throw err // file failed to download or display in the DOM
  console.log('New DOM node with the content', elem)
})

});

I don't think it has any 'webtorrent' peers, but it has some amount of seeders, is there anyway I can stream the contents of that magnet using webtorrent?

It won't work unless it has webrtc peers seeding. https://github.com/webtorrent/webtorrent/blob/master/docs/faq.md#why-does-browser-downloading-not-work-i-see-no-peers
