The right libtheora is present in Steam Linux Runtime, you shouldn't need to manually download it:

$ find . | grep 'libtheora(enc|dec)\.so\.1$'
./steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper/var/tmp-Y6UV92/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtheoraenc.so.1
./steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper/var/tmp-Y6UV92/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtheoradec.so.1
./steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper/var/tmp-Y6UV92/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libtheoraenc.so.1
./steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper/var/tmp-Y6UV92/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libtheoradec.so.1
./steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_soldier/var/tmp-9J2S92/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtheoraenc.so.1
./steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_soldier/var/tmp-9J2S92/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtheoradec.so.1
./steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_soldier/var/tmp-9J2S92/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libtheoraenc.so.1
./steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_soldier/var/tmp-9J2S92/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libtheoradec.so.1
./ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime.old/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtheoraenc.so.1
./ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime.old/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtheoradec.so.1
./ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime.old/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libtheoraenc.so.1
./ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime.old/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libtheoradec.so.1
./ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtheoraenc.so.1
./ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtheoradec.so.1
./ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libtheoraenc.so.1
./ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libtheoradec.so.1

It should be enough to add the following to Run.sh (in the LD_PRELOAD section):

"$STEAM_RUNTIME"/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtheoradec.so.1 \
"$STEAM_RUNTIME"/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtheoraenc.so.1 \

However, if you want a cleaner setup, I suggest dropping Run.sh and instead running the game through Steam using the "Play Worms W.M.D" option.
Background: when using "Play Worms W.M.D (Run.sh)" (or when launching from the terminal), the game binary is launched directly, without steam-launch-wrapper, so Steam runtime's libraries are not loaded.
The Run.sh version from the wiki attempts to fix this by manually LD_PRELOAD-ing the needed libraries, but imo it's more robust to just let Steam do its job; as we can see, system library updates (like libtheora from 1.1.1 to 1.2.0) can break the script, and it will require regular updates to keep working.

Over the years of battling with running this game on Linux, I have come up with the following solution:

1. Add a script, e.g. "myrun.sh", to the game directory (and remember to make it executable):

#!/bin/bash

_libraries=(
	lib/libQt5*.so.5
	/usr/lib/libwavpack.so.1
	"$STEAM_RUNTIME"/amd64/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdbus-1.so.3
)

export LD_PRELOAD="${_libraries[@]}"

exec "$@"

2. Add the following to the game's Launch Options in Steam:

3. Run the game through Steam using "Play Worms W.M.D" (not "Play Worms W.M.D (Run.sh)").

If there are any issues, you can replace the last line of the script with

exec "$@" >~/worms-stdout.log 2>~/worms-stderr.log

and then look at the log files to see what the problem is.

(You can also add the following at the top of the script:

echo "$@" >~/worms-steam-cmd.log

to see the Steam Runtime magic in action.)

Edit:
Just realized that some time ago multiplayer broke, and now it requires the following in LD_PRELOAD:

"$STEAM_RUNTIME"/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl-gnutls.so.4
"$STEAM_RUNTIME"/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libidn.so.11
"$STEAM_RUNTIME"/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcrypt.so.11
"$STEAM_RUNTIME"/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/librtmp.so.0

which largely defeats the advantage of being cleaner than manually preloading all libraries…
