I think my record without food or songs is +82 STR, makes you absolutely *** useless for casting anything but CASA Vertical Cleave, but fun to play with.
As for spells, there are spells that you'll never use and aren't even particularly useful for stats, but they're generally not the hard ones to learn anyway (feather barrier is the most useless spell that comes to mind).
Unless you're going to try and be an incredibly diverse blu as opposed to levelling it and only using the big three + cannonball, then there's no real need to get quite a few spells. However, as others have said, getting the spells is one of the fun parts of levelling the job (annoying at times, but satisfying once done) and most people will get them all for completions sake.
A very quick list of spells that you can probably skip if you're just going to be a disseverment blu or not going for completion (starting at ~30):
Death ray
mysterious light
terror touch
venom shell (although great if you can land it)
Blitzstrahl
magnetite cloud
blood saber (but get it, it's fun to use on 10+ low level mobs)
jettatura
ice break
hecatomb wave
radiant breath
feather barrier
flying hip press
spiral spin
maelstrom
eyes on me
seedspray
bad breath
memento mori
body slam
1000 needles
spinal cleave
hydro shot
feather tickle
infrasonics
firespit
asuran claws
lowing
tirumphant roar
saline coat
ram charge
mind blast
reactor cool
