I thought that in your situation when Google Docs API is used, the script might be simple. So, in this answer, I would like to propose to achieve your goal using Google Docs API. The sample script is as follows.

Sample script:

Before you use this script, please enable Google Docs API at Advanced Google services.

function resetParagraphFormatting() {
  const docId = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument().getId();
  const obj = Docs.Documents.get(docId).body.content;
  Docs.Documents.batchUpdate({ requests: [{ updateParagraphStyle: { range: { startIndex: 1, endIndex: obj.pop().endIndex }, fields: "borderBetween,borderBottom,borderTop,borderLeft,borderRight,shading", paragraphStyle: {} } }] }, docId);
}

Testing:

When this script is run, the properties of "Borders and shading" are reset as follows.

Note:

• If you want to also reset the spaces of the paragraph, please include the fields of spaceAbove,spaceBelow into fields: "borderBetween,borderBottom,borderTop,borderLeft,borderRight,shading".
