Any way to adjust game controller dead zone? Much needed Android feature! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am not an Android developer but I am very capable of understanding and writing code.
2 days ago I went on holiday with my family and took my brand new Xbox controller together with my sparkly Huawei mate 20 pro. My son and I play Minecraft and I knew he would want to grab some playtime when we were not doing anything so I figured I would hook up my controller to the phone because I read that Minecraft pocket edition has native support for the Xbox controller.
To my disappointment, the moment I hooked up my controller, I experienced terrible drifting to the left. The camera constant panned to the left.
After A LOT of research and after downloading a game controller testing app, I could confirm that this was not a problem with the game, but the controller having an off-center analog stick as an in the below snapshot.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So just like on the steam app or in most games that use a controller, they have a dead zone setting to compensate for this anomaly.
My question is this:
Is there a way to edit a config file on the Android 10 platform that can increase the dead zone of the analog stick or is there an app that doesn't require root to do the same??
