Honestly Im just looking for dealer to do whatever to fix it, I have that warranty might as well use it.

I mean, you can ask the tech to take it out, but I'm 99% sure they'll say that is normal operation for the gearbox.
As a non-tech person, "fighting back" doesn't sound like an issue. My GTI had a shitty 5th gear. MY FR-S has the same shitty 5th gear. You have to be patient and very deliberate with your shifts into 5th, I've found. Don't bother blipping the throttle. It won't help you.
Most gears you can shift with little or no thought. It just "slips in."
With fifth gear, you take it by the neck and put its head underwater until it stops fighting... metaphorically speaking.
