Can you spare me five minutes? and Can you spare five minutes for me? are somehow having the same meaning yet the second statement specifies a bit demand sir.

I would say, Can you spare me five minutes?(this one sounds more natural) or Can you spare five minutes for me? The others sound mean. It's like say the person won't talk to you so you say "Can't you spare me five minutes??"
