Blow some compressed air around the base of the joystick to clear out any dust or debris. Often, that's all it takes!

I've dealt with this myself. I found that lightly dabbing the joystick with isopropyl alcohol and moving it around helped clean any gunk causing the drift.

Just get a new controller. Stick drift hates being repaired.
