Does anyone know of a viable EPD for Weapon Upgrades, or the amount of damage a unit at X Index has?
Specific Upgrade: (ID: 13), (Offset: +13), Protoss Ground Weapons

None.

I'm going to answer this from a technical level, but if you need me to explain in more detail, let me know.

SC upgrades researched: http://farty1billion.dyndns.org/euddb/?pg=entry&addr=0x0058D298&ver=1.15.2&plat=win

Your upgrade is 0x0D away, since upgrades are 1 byte apiece; this means you're +3 players from the base Player ID (3027).

Memory at Death Table + 3030 is exactly A + (B*256) + (C*65536) + (D*16777216)

A = Zerg Flyer Attacks
B = Protoss Ground Weapons
C = Protoss Air Weapons
D = Protoss Plasma Shields

You'll need to know the values of all of these except Zerg Flyer Attacks, which you can negate by checking between A = 0 and A = 255. That is:

Memory at Death Table + 3030 is at least 0 + (B*256) + (C*65536) + (D*16777216)
Memory at Death Table + 3030 is at most 255 + (B*256) + (C*65536) + (D*16777216)

EDIT: This is only for Player 1. Player 2's upgrades are located immediately after Player 1's, and this pattern continues for all players. If you need more help for the other players, let me know.
EDIT2: If you're not interested in explanations, try this:

Upgrades for each player

Weapon damage amount: http://farty1billion.dyndns.org/euddb/?pg=entry&addr=0x00656EB0&ver=1.16.1&plat=win

Your weapon is 0x1A away, since damage amounts are 2 bytes apiece; this means you're +6 players from the base Player ID (209619).

Memory at Death Table + 209625 is exactly A + (B*65536)

A = Zerg Flyer Attacks
B = Protoss Ground Weapons

This is actually in your favor, as you can completely ignore the value of Zerg Flyer Attacks:

Memory at Death Table + 209625 is at least 0 + (B*65536)
Memory at Death Table + 209625 is at most 65535 + (B*65536)

As for checking the damage of a unit at a specific index, that's not directly (and pragmatically) possible, as the unit's damage is not stored in the unit struct; you'd have to look up its weapon's damage.
