Practice, Read, Do math, Challenge yourself. I personally would recomend to start by reading Euclid's Elements it is good for a starter and has a lot of the most amazing results in geometry and number theory.

Yes, I have. It's pretty awesome, especially considering the time period it was written in, but I'm looking more for problem solving strategies, and ways to answer bizarrely specific, hard questions that aren't tailor -made for certain techniques.

This is what teacher's should recommend to students. I personally had the luck of reading Euclid's Elements at school curriculum.
