while sitting at the light, have you tried clutching out for a second to spin up the transmission and re-try 1st?
i've found if i roll to a stop in another gear, and then sit on the clutch(if i'm expecting it to be a short light), i'll sometimes have a similar issue getting into 1st, but only sometimes. as you, i'll either find another gear that will go in(usually 2nd goes in fine at that point) to move the syncro's and it'll mesh with 1st then, or i'll also just drop back to neutral, clutch-out for a second to spin the input shaft slightly, and it'll usually mesh again as it ought to in 1st.

Say I'm coming to a stop in 4th. I'll clutch in/neutral/clutch out/brake. Clutch in when I need to go to first. On occasion I will downshift . It will do it only when warm. I've taken a mountain road drive twice and both times it starts acting like this when I get back in to town. Once it starts doing that Ill mainline it home in fear of it getting worse. Goes away every morning on my way to work. Can the heat from some spirited driving be making my clutch drag? Only mod is an mtec clutch spring. Not sure if the previous owner adjusted or tinkered with something that would cause these symptoms
