Can't remove thumbstick domes, they just spin. What's going on?

I'm trying to replace my bumper switches, but I need to take off the thumbstick domes to do that. I can get them to spin clockwise or counterclockwise, but they do not come off, no matter how much I rotate them. I tried the tall thumbstick, a wrench, a socket screwdriver, and even my drill, but nothing can get the thumbstick domes to unscrew. Any suggestions as to what's going on and how to fix it?

There is no fix. The thumbstick dome is supposed to thread onto the part that gets soldered to the board using a very course thread. However, if you find the dome to spin, with grinding, then that means the thread snapped off inside the dome.

Look at the pictures and one picture has a dotted circle circling a broken thumbstick. That is what happened to you.

Unfortunately the only thing you can do is replace the entire thumbstick assembly or the controller.
