How to set the CornerRadius of a UWP TextBox without copying and updating the whole default TextBox style?

I can copy the default style from there and modify it to set the CornerRadius of the borders.
However, I find it heavy. Isn't there a way to just tell my TextBox to use a ControlTemplate to derive from the default one with "just" a property changed?

This idea is easily understood, say when defining a new Style, it can be based on another Style with a few properties being overridden. This fits well into the inheritance scenario in OO.
But ControlTemplate has no such thing as "base ControlTemplate", because ControlTemplate isn't really a set of properties/behaviors that can be overridden, ControlTemplate is an integral entity, comprising of different template parts. Putting in OO analogy, it is like a class that doesn't expose any virtual method for you to override.
So you have to edit on the entire copy of the original template.

But how would I derive from the default style anyway as it seems to have no name to refer to?

When you define a new style derive from the default style, you don’t need to refer to the default style, right? It has all the default values in the default style.
