Log Trig $\int_0^{\pi/2}\log^4 \tan \frac{x}{2}dx=\frac{5\pi^5}{32}$

Hi I am trying to integrate a log trigonometric integral given by $$ I:=\int_0^{\pi/2}\log^4 \tan \frac{x}{2}dx=\frac{5\pi^5}{32}. $$ This is very similar to a previous integral posted except the power of the logarithm. Note this integral is also equal to $$ \int_0^{\pi/2}\log^4 \tan x \, dx=\frac{5\pi^5}{32}. $$ I have wrote I as $$ I=\int_0^{\pi/2} \left(\log \sin \frac{x}{2}-\log \cos \frac{x}{2}\right)^4 dx $$ but got stuck here since factoring this out seems like a mess. Having seen how David H solved a similar integral I posted, I tried another method starting with I and using $t=\tan x/2$, and obtained $$ I=2\int_0^{1}\log^4 t \frac{dt}{1+t^2}. $$ Following this I tried $u=-\log t$ but got stuck after this. Thanks, it would be nice to see a solution that doesn't reduce the integral to a difficult sum to evaluate

This post and related comments and answers are very interesting and allow the generalization of the problem to $$I(n)=\int_0^{\pi/2}\log ^n\left[\tan \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)\right]dx$$ for which the result is $$I(n)=(-1)^n 2^{-2 n-1} \left[\zeta \left(n+1,\frac{1}{4}\right)-\zeta \left(n+1,\frac{3}{4}\right)\right] \Gamma (n+1).$$ When $n$ is even, one can find a simple formula in terms of the Euler numbers: $$I(2n)=(-1)^nE_{2n}\left(\dfrac\pi2\right)^{2n+1},$$ e.g. $$I(0)=\frac{\pi}{2}$$ $$I(2)=\frac{\pi ^3}{8}$$ $$I(4)=\frac{5 \pi ^5}{32}$$ $$I(6)=\frac{61 \pi ^7}{128}$$ $$I(8)=\frac{1385 \pi ^9}{512}$$ $$I(10)=\frac{50521 \pi ^{11}}{2048}$$ and so on.

When $n$ is odd, all values are negative and cannot be expressed in any form simpler than the $\zeta$ function.
