Default Trans Issues! HELP!

Ok long story short
09 is250. Auto, 221k miles. Trans fluid never swapped by previous owner after getting the service sheets from lexus. (All services done by lexus dealer) .
Heres were it gets weird, when the vehicle temp is cold. Doesn't slip in 1st (1st is the only issue). Yet when I get to temp, skips violently.
If I turn off vsc and all trac control stuff no slip or I don't notice it.
I know these are "sealed" units. Yet I know there is a way to change the fluid. Yet in scared to do that since I've had it where they fail afterwards.
Would Lucas stop slip help or make matters worse?
