Hmm I haven't had a 3rd gear problem like you describe.

Mine refuses to go into 2nd when the trans fluid is super cold (ambient <40°F), as in if I tried any harder, even with a double-clutch, it would bend something. Last weekend I swapped in AMSoil Manual Syncromesh and now it actually goes into 2nd when it's cold out.

On the stock trans fluid, 2nd was fine once it warmed up a bit, only stone cold did it struggle. Now with the AMSoil it's good all the time. I've been running the AMSoil in most of my track car tranny's for about a decade now so it's more than anecdotally proven itself as quality.

It's also possible the syncro's are still breaking in. IMO give it some time and if it doesn't improve then bring it up with the dealer.
