Quick solution:

var element = document.querySelector('#my-element');
var style = element.currentStyle || window.getComputedStyle(element);

console.log(parseInt(style.borderLeftWidth));
console.log(parseInt(style.borderTopWidth));
console.log(parseInt(style.borderRightWidth));
console.log(parseInt(style.borderBottomWidth));

1. Current style property example

This approach allows to get current style value (even was assigned with selector).

// ONLINE-RUNNER:browser;

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
  <style>

    body {
        margin: 0;
        height: 140px;
    }

    div {
      	border: solid gray;
        border-width: 20px 30px 40px 10px; /* [top] [right] [bottom] [left] */
        background: cyan;
        width: 100px; height: 100px;
    }

  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <div id="my-element">Text...</div>
  <script>
    
    var element = document.querySelector('#my-element');
    var style = element.currentStyle || window.getComputedStyle(element);

    console.log('border-left-width: ' + parseInt(style.borderLeftWidth));
    console.log('border-top-width: ' + parseInt(style.borderTopWidth));
    console.log('border-right-width: ' + parseInt(style.borderRightWidth));
    console.log('border-bottom-width: ' + parseInt(style.borderBottomWidth));

  </script>
</body>
</html>

2. Reusable code example

This approach organized above code in reusable function.

// ONLINE-RUNNER:browser;

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
  <style>

    body {
        margin: 0;
        height: 140px;
    }

    div {
      	border: solid gray;
        border-width: 20px 30px 40px 10px; /* [top] [right] [bottom] [left] */
        background: cyan;
        width: 100px; height: 100px;
    }

  </style>
  <script type="text/javascript">

    function getBorderWidth(element) {
        var style = element.currentStyle || window.getComputedStyle(element);

        var result = {
            getLeft: function() {
                return parseInt(style.borderLeftWidth);
            },
            getTop: function() {
                return parseInt(style.borderTopWidth);
            },
            getRight: function() {
                return parseInt(style.borderRightWidth);
            },
            getBottom: function() {
                return parseInt(style.borderBottomWidth);
            }
        };

        return result;
    }

  </script>
</head>
<body>
  <div id="my-element">Text...</div>
  <script>
    
    var element = document.querySelector('#my-element');
    var width = getBorderWidth(element);

    console.log('border-left-width: ' + width.getLeft());
    console.log('border-top-width: ' + width.getTop());
    console.log('border-right-width: ' + width.getRight());
    console.log('border-bottom-width: ' + width.getBottom());

  </script>
</body>
</html>
