Try saving your Libre Office file natively (not html), use Calibre to convert to epub and then edit with Sigil.
It worked for me a couple of years ago with Open Office and assuming Libre Office has the same file structure it may still work. Worth a try.
Over time I have found that converting word processing files makes for messy epubs and have opted to use Notepad++ and drag my files into Sigil one chapter at a time. It is pretty easy and keeps me from getting to cutesy with the formatting (a very good thing).
