First, try recalibrating the controller by resetting it. Use a paperclip to press the reset button on the back of the controller for about 5 seconds. If that doesn't work, you might need to open up the controller and clean around the analog stick with isopropyl alcohol.
I've had success fixing drift by opening the controller and replacing the analog stick module. It's a bit of work and requires some soldering skills, but it brought my PS3 controller back to life!
Just get a new one. They're cheap and saves you the headache.
