You can't. Well, you can change the value in the NCX, but it will just not get caught by the validation.
If the value created by Calibre is wrong, than it should be corrected by Kovid whether it works or not. You should always keep as close to the specifications as possible.

But I don't keep any of Calibre's CSS, I erase it and replace it with my own. I clean up the html, trying to keep the style as simple as possible. I also us Calibre to generate a TOC.
Using it like this, I believe Calibre can be a valid tool, same as Sigil, no?
I haven't tested Calibre's Word conversion at the fullest, but I just don't like what he does with the styles. I fully understands why he does it like that and it is his choice. No problem with that.
However, I like the methods I use myself (no surprise...) with my Add-in. Downside for some people that is needs Word (2007 and up) and must be on Windows (blame MS for that). A lot of your manual steps are automated that way.
