I was successful at fixing drift in mine by "popping" the thumbstick by slightly pulling it back, blowing into it with air, then moving it in a circular motion, blowing again, then "popping" it back down, doing the circular motion again. Didn't have to open or unscrew anything. It's probably not as thorough as by opening, but it got my controller drift fixed several times over the year.

Thanks for the input
The Torx screws aren't "proprietary", they are called "security" screws. You can get Torx bits with a hole in them to remove these.
Good to know
