if anything it would be worn synchronizers. this is normal from excessive powershifting/shifting without being close to rev matching or from shifting without the clutch or without the clutch too much.
are you trying to powershift (shifting very fast trying to catch the next gear before the rpm falls too much)? that can wear them out and cause the grinds to happen. don't force it into gear. get used to somewhat rev matching. not like you would with a dog tooth gearbox but just close enough that your not stressing the synchros to do all the match work.
lmk if you understand what i'm sayin!

Well it doesn't have to be beaten on for the synchros to become shot. If someone doesn't fully use the clutch, it will wear the synchros out quicker.
The clutch may not be fully disengaging, but not likely. The shift forks I would assume to be ok else you would be missing gears completely or not being able to select a particular gear at all.
I would say the synchros are just worn if your casually shifting at 5k w/ the clutch. Try rev matching as if it were a dog box and see if it slides into gear like butter. Even with synchros it should feel that way if you properly rev match.

First things first, change out the trans fluid with good fresh honda MTF (2.3qts) and make sure it is at the proper level. Old/Crappy/Low fluid can cause these symptoms. Also, make sure the clutch pedal is adjusted properly. If the clutch is not fully releasing the pressure plate, that would also cause grinds/tough shifting. Pedal height should be ~6.5 inches from the floor to the pedal pad, and freeplay should be ~ 1/2 to 3/4 inch.
