Calling the replies in this thread (excluding fimbul's) "excellent" is a stretch. 76s should be raised on the button for the reason that limping is criminally bad. You just said AJ can't stand a raise. What are the odds that someone is holding a hand better than AJ, and is this able to withstand a raise or reraise? The raise is compulsory because by failing to raise, you allow two random hands to get a cheap or free shot at winning your pot.

Furthermore, by open-limping 76s, you procure for yourself the worst of both worlds. If someone does have a good hand, they raise you and you call. The money gets in only when you have the worst of it.

Finally, you have no fear of a reraise, since you can fold your garbage easily (unless stacks are very deep).
