Analog stick drift on Design Lab controller

The controller sometimes doesn't register any upwards movements, or just gets stuck between up and down on the left analog stick. After looking up the issue, it appears that many other people have had the same issue with the newer controllers made for the series x/s. Is there anyway to fix it, or will this controller have to take a visit to the bin? (Controller doesn't have warranty anymore as it is over a year old)
