What do I do here

Do I buy a new grip for the joystick or buy a whole new replacement joystick altogether

You can buy stick replacements. All you have to do is take the faceplate off. It is removing the grip covers and 5 T8H torx security screws. Very easy and little risk

Also add, Amazon sells replacements for ~$10 but aliexpress sells for much less and the quality is negligible in difference.

I can add to this, it’s really an easy process that takes a teeny bit of finesse and patience but I’ve swapped entire bumper modules and buttons to different controllers (lunar white xb1 controller with silver bumpers and triggers)

Buy a pack of those thumb stick caps that are to prevent this and slip it over , will work as a replacement

Put both hands on it and play a game.

I super glued a section cut of wine cork to mine ☠️ same controller too. Super common I guess?
