Can I disable table headers?

I’m working with tables (for actual tabular data!) and the theme I picked was formatting the header row differently. I’ve overcome that mostly by overriding the CSS used in the “Additional CSS” section.

But I’m going to have a lot of data, so I wanted to color alternate rows, for easier tracking. This revealed that the code I’m using considers the header row, a special thing, and therefor colors it the same as the row under it. Meaning that while every other row is colored, the top two are the same.

tr:nth-child(even) {
background-color: #EEEEEE;
}

So I’m curious if there’s a way to tell the tables to just not use header rows at all? Can I just make everything a td instead of a th somehow?
