Striking through multiple column and row in tabular

Question

I am trying to create a table that has multiple strikes through columns and rows, similar to this table

I have tried this solution Striking thru a tabular row in LaTeX but it can't produce multiple strikes through. My code looked something like this

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\usepackage{xfrac}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{cancel}
\usepackage{tikz}
\tikzstyle{every picture}+=[remember picture]
\tikzstyle{na} = [shape=rectangle,inner sep=0pt]
\newcommand{\myStrikeBegin}[1]{%
    \tikz[baseline=(begin.base)]\nodena{#1};
}
\newcommand{\myStrikeEnd}[1]{%
    \tikz[baseline=(end.base)]\nodena{#1};
    \begin{tikzpicture}[overlay]
          \draw (begin.west) -- (end.east);
    \end{tikzpicture}
}
\begin{tabular}{cccc}
            19 & \myStrikeBegin{0} & \myStrikeBegin{15} & 14 \
            \myStrikeBegin{0} & 5 & 3 & \myStrikeEnd{0} \
            3 & 2 & 0 & 3\
            13 & \myStrikeEnd{20} & \myStrikeEnd{0} & 17
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

And the result looked like this

(I wanted to strike through the 2nd and 4th columns as well as the 3rd row). I have tried to make 3 new similar commands but the resulting table is the same.

Is there any way to do it? Any help would be appreciated.

@antshar I found that answer that using line tikz produces lines that is not entirely straight and setting out the new command is confusing for me. Maybe I am just not used to using tikz in that way — I. Farhan, May 13 '22 at 14:16
@antshar After trying a couple of times, it seems that your link is indeed the answer. Thank you very much. At first, I was very skeptical that it works because it was applied to a matrix, not a table. But it works nonetheless, thanks again! — I. Farhan, May 13 '22 at 14:43

Just in case, this is very easy with pstricks:

    \documentclass[svgnames]{article}
    \usepackage{amsfonts}
    \usepackage{amsthm}
    \usepackage{mathtools}
    \usepackage{xfrac}
    \usepackage{multirow}
    \usepackage{cancel}
    \usepackage{pst-node}
    \usepackage{pst-eucl}
\begin{document}

\begin{table}
\begin{tabular}{cccc}
            19 &amp; \Rnode{A}{0} &amp; 15 &amp; \Rnode{B}{14} \\
             0 &amp; 5 &amp; 3 &amp; 0 \\
            \Rnode{C}{3} &amp; 2 &amp; 0 &amp; \Rnode{D}{3}\\
            13 &amp; \Rnode{E}{20} &amp; 0 &amp; \Rnode{F}{17}
\end{tabular}
\psset{linewidth=0.6pt, linecolor=LightSteelBlue}
\ncline[nodesepA=-1em, nodesepB=-1em]{A}{E}\ncline[nodesepA=-1em, nodesepB=-1em]{B}{F}\pstLineAB[nodesepA=1em, nodesepB=-1em]{C}{D}
\end{table}

\end{document}

I have copied your code but it always produces error somehow. The errors are (Undefined control sequence) and (Undefined color) — I. Farhan, May 13 '22 at 14:31
How did you compile? The classic wau is latex > dvi >dvips >pstopdf, becasue pdflatex doe not have the tools t make the computations trquired by postscript. Another way is compiling with xelatex --shell-escape. The ‘undefined color’ is strange, because pstricks loads xcolor, and I have set the option [svgnames] through the \documentclass. — Bernard, May 13 '22 at 17:27
