If you want to return the numbers as strings *and* you want the results
to be captured as an Org-mode table, then you should use the ":results
org" output type so that you have complete control over the table.
For example,
[-- Warning: decoded text below may be mangled, UTF-8 assumed --]
[-- Attachment #2: results-org.org --]

#+begin_src sh :results output org :exports results
cat <<EOF
| 1.0000 | 22.000 |
| 333.00 | 4444.0 |
EOF
#+end_src
