[GC] How to repair GameCube joystick not detecting vertical axis

[GC] How to repair GameCube joystick not detecting vertical axis

Hello, I bought this controller for $15. At first it worked perfectly, but the next day for some reason the left joystick started failing when moving the character to the left, and a few hours later the vertical axis failed completely. In homebrew it still detects some movement, but it's far too little to actually register as up or down.

Any solution for this? Should I replace the entire stickbox or just the potentiometers? The stick itself still feels tight and firm.
