If all else fails, update the controller firmware. Connect to your PS5 via USB and check for updates. Sometimes software fixes these issues.
First, fully charge your controller and reset it. A simple reset can sometimes correct calibration issues causing drift. To reset, stick a paperclip into the small hole on the back of the controller and hold for 5 seconds.
TBH, it's usually better to just replace the controller if none of these work. It's a pain, but it beats dealing with constant drift.
