Recalibrate, if that doesnt help, clean the potentiometers in the joystick.

That can be done by spraying a PROPER cleaning solution into the potentiometer joint surfaces and then repeatedly moving the stick / potentiometers from one end to the other.

you might also want to increase the dampers and deadbands on pitch and roll a bit.
