The 48 מעלות aren't prerequisites to acquiring Torah as we normally understand the Mishna, rather it means that one who learns Torah will be given the 48 middos which are necessary to be able to retain Torah. One who lack is one of those aspects is because he is rejecting that which Hashem gave him, like a kohan rejecting terumah. The way of obtaining the key to the middos is to sit and study Torah.
