2nd gear syncro

Every once in a while, I get kinda lazy with my shifting and don't exert enough force to get all the way into second gear.

Sometimes, when this happens I get a nasty grinding noise as if I was shifting without the clutch. (clutch is all the way to the floor when this happens)

This is not normal, right? I am thinking there is something wrong with the 2nd gear syncro since it is sometimes hard to drop into second as well.

The issue isn't very repeatable, and only seems to happen at high rpms sometimes, so I am not confident that I can recreate the issue at a dealership.

Any advice? Am I worrying about nothing, or should I try to further diagnose this?
