In a new spreadsheet, format the cell borders to your linking, then run File >
Templates > Save As Template..., enter some name, pick any category and use
"[x] Set as default template" to have this one when creating new files.


But besides templates, the proper way to format parts of a table is to use
table styles. In Calc, you select a range and use Format > Autoformat Styles...
with some options. You can also Add what you have currently set-up in your
sheet to the list of styles.

Writer has an extra entry in the Stylist sidebar, although it lacks on a UI to
configure the table style. But Table > Autoformat Styles works the same as in
Calc.

The function has admittedly many shortcomings, see the meta bug 101756 and bug
107553. But your basic requirements should be met.
