style = xlwt.easyxf('font: height 220; align: wrap on, vert centre, horiz center; borders: top 1, bottom 1, left 1, right 1;')

Going by the code you've listed, you're overwriting the call to:

sheet.write(i, index, int(each.strip()))

at the end of your block with this line:

sheet.write(i, index, each, style)

It's the line flagged with *** below that looks to be undoing your good work:

           for row in reader:
            for index, each in enumerate(row):
                if i==0:
                    sheet.write(i, index, each, headerStyle)
                elif i==1:
                    sheet.write(i, index, each, headerStyle)
                else:
                    if i >= 2:
                        if each == ' ' or each == '':
                            each = 0
                            sheet.write(i, index, each, style)

                        else:
                            if index > 0:
                                sheet.write(i, index, int(each.strip()))
                            else:
                                sheet.write(i, index, each.strip(), style)
                    **sheet.write(i, index, each, style)**
