It's because the html5 export has no default style for tables --
before opening in word, try opening the html in a browser, you will
see that xhtml-strict export adds style info to the table element, but 
xhtml5 doesn't.

If you want the same style in html5 as html4, try the following
preamble in your org file:

#+HTML_DOCTYPE: xhtml5
#+HTML_HEAD: <style type="text/css">
#+HTML_HEAD: table {
#+HTML_HEAD: border-top: thin solid gray;
#+HTML_HEAD: border-bottom: thin solid gray;
#+HTML_HEAD: }
#+HTML_HEAD: thead {border-bottom: thin solid grey;}
#+HTML_HEAD: td, th {padding: 6px;}
#+HTML_HEAD:</style>

FYI, here's the table definition output in html4:

<table border="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="6" rules="groups"
frame="hsides">

and html5

<table>
