How to Take Apart a PS5 Controller to Fix Drift
First, you'll need a small Phillips head screwdriver and a plastic pry tool. Carefully remove the screws from the back of the controller and gently pry open the shell. Be cautious with the internal ribbon cables. Once inside, clean around the joystick bases with isopropyl alcohol to remove any debris. If that doesn’t work, you might need to replace the joystick modules. Good luck!

Easiest way? Just send it to Sony for repair if it's under warranty. Less hassle, more gaming!
Honestly, don't take it apart. You might void your warranty or mess it up more. Send it in for repairs!
I had the same issue! Just remove the four screws on the back, carefully pop off the cover with a plastic tool, and clean around the joysticks with alcohol. Worked like a charm for me!
