Is it like that just by touching it, or do you get that sensation when the thumb stick is pushed all the way forward (so the stem is in contact with the shell)?
If the former, then I don't have any advice since I haven't felt it myself.
If the latter, and it feels almost "grainy" or rough when moving it side to side while pushed all the way forward, then mine had the same issue. I fixed it by buying some cheap joystick protectors on amazon. Now they feel totally smooth at all times, it was just a rough edge on the shell rubbing against the joystick stem.
This. I had the same issue. Bought some silicone rings and thumbsticks are really smooth. I also put them on my other gamepads.
