Currently using my hand-me-down vita from my bro, jailbroken and set up with the slew of homebrews and plugins. I ordered two Anbernic devices two weeks ago but honestly vita is just an emulation heaven, the hardware and button layout is perfect for playing Kirby games. One downside is that my left analog started having drifting issues. Plugins like retroVita works to some extent, other than disabling the stick completely.

I'm open to any advice for fixing it aside from replacing it completely (Im living remotely so I don't have access to a good fixer and I don't really trust myself to do on my own)

You can get replacement joysticks on AliExpress. Apparently it's not a difficult swap. Look up guides on iFixIt or YouTube. Make sure you get the correct stick for your device, 1000 or 2000.
