I can see where you're coming from.

Most browsers allow user styles to override a web page. E.g. the Stylus 
extension (works in Firefox and Chromium). There's also userStyles.css.

A good CSS reset would not get in the way of those, if only because it's 
written not to conflict with developer's CSS. Rules with !important will 
have higher priority.
