Theoretical level is useless, believe me. What is useful is understanding at intuitive level. You can achieve it with or without knowing theory, but you need a lot of practice anyway. Also, different languages providing OOP actually encourage different approaches. You have to follow one that your PL is suited to and that is the best solution for your current task, not that OOP or any other paradigm dictates you.
