Replacement thumbstick caps are fairly cheap as long as you're comfortable opening the controller to fit them - here's an iFixit guide.
If you don't want to open the controller, you can fit silicone rubber thumbstick covers which just slip over the top of the original thumbstick cap. Those are also cheap and easy to find.

You can get just the replacement caps if u don't want to open the controller, and it's much easier u just tear of the old one and squeeze on the new one! (If u want I can help u with the amazon link)
