3 solutions, all untested.

  1.  Use the label attribute on your sections,=20

        <sect3 label=3D"">

  2.  Use <section> instead of <sect3>, <sect4>, and <sect5>.  These can
      nest.

  3.  In your stylesheet customisation, cut and paste the function
      section-autolabel from common/dbcommon.dsl (it's the block of code
      that starts

          (define (section-autolabel nd #!optional (force-label? #f))

      and pull out all the code that deals with sect3 and onwards.
