It is possible. It just takes practice and a little patience during the shift maneuver
Swap your trans oil to Redline MT 85 as a start. It greatly improves smoothness, especially when cold.

The RJM clutch pedal upgrade is also a big help.

That said, even when stock I had no problems with shifting. I think the reason is that I know how to drive a manual transmission-equipped car. My wife drives a 6MT Juke also -- just for reference.
