Again, I can't hear any tonal scale that fits dominant that contains b5th but not altered 9th and b13.
Lydian b7, a mode of the altered scale.

That would be the 4th degree of the scale, not the 5th. The 5th is perfect in that scale.
I was going to say the whole tone scale, but that is a synthetic scale, not tonal according to the usual criteria, and there is some confusion as to whether that note would be the 4th or the 5th of the scale (it IS the 4th note starting from the bottom, but it would be the 5th if you count down from the octave (8,7,6,5), but since there are only 6 notes in the scale, it gets hard to say which functions as what degree.)
