Since you wish to develop techniques, you might want to consider the more general form $$S_k=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^{n-1}}{n^k\binom{2n}n2^n}.$$ The arcsine representation gives also $$S_3=\frac{1}{4}\zeta (3)-\frac{1}{6}\ln^3(2) ,$$ $$S_3=4\operatorname{Li}_4\left(\tfrac12\right)-\frac72\zeta(4)+\frac{13}4\ln2\zeta(3)-\ln^22\zeta(2)+\frac5{24}\ln^42.$$
