There's stick parts on ebay, it's not too hard to do if you can operate a screwdriver IMO. You just open it, take the back off, and take the other screws out that hold the joystick in and put the new one in if you but a new ball one.
It's a plug and play job. There is a single connector that can be placed one way.
If you are really against doing it I'm sure someone on here can charge you for it. I would, but I'm heading out of town in less than a week and shipping both ways would probably take longer than I have. Once I got the controller it is less than 5 minutes work.
If you would like to just buy a controller with the joystick replaced PM me and we can work something out. I have one controller I just replaced the stick in and an extra stick around waiting for a second.
I have a variety of colors, too. The sticks are the aftermarket GameCube style sticks, not like the originals, if that matters to you.
I replaced hundreds of them when I worked at PnT. We swapped every 64 stick that got traded in and charged $5 (on the spot) for a swap on customers controllers if they needed it. Trust us, you can do it yourself. The hardest part is going to be remembering there are 2 smaller screws in the ruble pak/memory card slot. Get those out before you "pop" the controller apart. Then again, you will only make that mistake once.
Once inside it is just a couple of mounting screws and a small plug.

Where did you find sticks for $5 or less? The best i ever found them was 7 shipped.

My boss used to get them in quantities of 50 or more. I think they were a buck a piece. That is one thing I regret not buying from the store for myself. She got them from a game/accessory supplier Play N Trade went through for everything. Inex or something of like that. It has been years...

they were $3.35 on amazon at one point
some people will say to use the gamecube sticks, but the response ranges on those don't mirror legit N64 pads, so i'd avoid, personally

I've seen that- but never shipped.
