Guide for complete disassembly. Just follow it to the point where the joystick is accessible. From there it's just a case of de-soldering and soldering the new one on.
Aside from as mentioned desoldering and resoldering another (and finding a replacement joystick). AFAIK its the only none servicable part on the phone, everything else pulls apart and new parts can be bought and swaped in/out etc...
Best you can do is clean it well once you've taken it apart, but i'd look into buying a new phon and avoiding the dreaded SE joysticks which after about 4 years i think they've finally stopped using (K850)
