Take apart the controller and check for any loose connections or broken pieces. Sometimes re-seating the joystick module can do wonders.
Make sure your controller's firmware is up to date. Sometimes, software updates can fix hardware issues like joystick drift.
Honestly, just get a new controller. The hassle of fixing it isn't worth the time or frustration.
First, try cleaning around the joystick with a Q-tip and some rubbing alcohol. If that doesn't work, you can buy a joystick repair kit online. I've done it before; it's tricky but doable!
