@oldturkey03 gave you some good options, and you hopefully fixed your controller by now, but if you only need a fixed blade screwdriver to open your Joy-Con or Switch, iFixit sells a Tri-point* Y00 Precision Screwdriver

*AKA a Tri-wing screwdriver. It is different from an actual "Tri-wing" Screwdriver. If you are opening a Switch Joy-Con, the screwdriver tip should resemble a Mercedes logo and not a shuriken. These nuances between screw types and more are in this Nintendo Switch screwdriver wiki resource.
