$\mathrm{csc}\left(\theta +\frac{\left(m-1\right)\pi }{4}\right)\cdot \mathrm{csc}\left(\theta +\frac{m\pi }{4}\right)=\frac{1}{\mathrm{sin}\left(\theta +\frac{\left(m-1\right)\pi }{4}\right)\cdot \mathrm{sin}\left(\theta +\frac{m\pi }{4}\right)}$
$\frac{\mathrm{sin}\left(A-B\right)}{\mathrm{sin}A\mathrm{sin}B}=\frac{\mathrm{sin}A\mathrm{cos}B-\mathrm{cos}A\mathrm{sin}B}{\mathrm{sin}A\mathrm{sin}B}=\mathrm{cot}B-\mathrm{cot}A$
Here $A=\theta +\frac{m\pi }{4}$ and $B=\theta +\frac{\left(m-1\right)\pi }{4},A-B=\frac{\pi }{4}$
$\phantom{\rule{thickmathspace}{0ex}}⟹\phantom{\rule{thickmathspace}{0ex}}\frac{1}{\mathrm{sin}\left(\theta +\frac{\left(m-1\right)\pi }{4}\right)\cdot \mathrm{sin}\left(\theta +\frac{m\pi }{4}\right)}$
$=\frac{1}{\mathrm{sin}\frac{\pi }{4}}\cdot \frac{\mathrm{sin}\left\{\theta +\frac{m\pi }{4}-\left(\theta +\frac{\left(m-1\right)\pi }{4}\right)\right\}}{\mathrm{sin}\left(\theta +\frac{\left(m-1\right)\pi }{4}\right)\cdot \mathrm{sin}\left(\theta +\frac{m\pi }{4}\right)}$
$=\frac{\mathrm{cot}\left(\theta +\frac{\left(m-1\right)\pi }{4}\right)-\mathrm{cot}\left(\theta +\frac{m\pi }{4}\right)}{\mathrm{sin}\frac{\pi }{4}}$
Set $m=1,2,3,4,5,6$ and add and finally simplify.
