You should define strokes in the table styles, but not in the cell styles. In cell styles leave the fields for color fill and strokes empty. In Cell Styles define only lokal exceptions. Remove all overrides.

InDesign has an obscure feature in that when you set nearly any option or value with no object selected, it becomes the default.

With no document open, set a stroke color and then set the stroke weight to 0.25. Change the stroke back to [None] unless you want a particular color as the default. Close ID.

The stroke weight should default to 0.25 until a preferences reset or other update resets it to 1. However, the nature of the Type tool seems to be that it resets the stroke to 0 with each new text box, and to 1 when a stroke color is first assigned in text mode. So I am not sure the persistent value can be set for text.
