If you know how to use the icons on the Menu bar then do this
1) left click on the drop down arrow for Borders
2) options are displayed in a 3 x 4 matrix. click on the option to surround a
cell or range of cells (hint: it's on the second row in the fourth column
(right)
3) left click on the drop down arrow for Border style. drag the slider down
until you see the third from the bottom wide bar and left click on it.
That's all that I do, LO Calc does the rest by putting a thick border
horizontally both top and bottom and incorrectly putting a skinny border line
vertically both on the left and right.

To help you visualize this I prepared and attached an ods file named Borders.
It shows the borders for all 14 options

I have only Calc V 6.0.1.2 installed.
If I create a new ods, the borders are drawn incorrectly
If I open an old ods created by V5, the borders are drawn correctly

This makes me think that, when a new ods is created, Border definitions are
retrieved and stored within the ods rather than being retrieved from Calc each
time the ods is opened.
This raises the issue of how a correction can be designed and applied to:
1) correct the definitions in Calc itself and
2) how to transfer those correct definitions to each ods with the incorrect
definitions.
We’d need to know what an incorrect definition looks like, test for it and if
found, replace it with a correct definition.

On a side note: There are only 5 Border style variations that make sense to
have, but 2 need fixing. The other options look just like an other option and
are therefore redundant and should be removed. I documented this in the ods
which I’ve attached.
This makes me think that at one time all 14 looked different but over time were
converted to what we see now.
