Can anyone help me with this?

Open up an official Sega Saturn joystick - you know, one of those big black ones; I'll upload a photo if I figure out how - and you'll see it has 'guiders' where the bottom of the stick is, to help you to hit the diagonals.
Sega's 3-button MegaDrive stick also has these inside it but they are squatter.

The Saturn stick's guiders are much thinner, and I just had one break on me.
Trying to play a Street Fighter game or anything similar is now impossible!

How would I repair it, and how would I strengthen the other guiders, on both that stick and my other joystick to make them stronger so that they (hopefully) never break?

I'd appreciate any tips! Thank you.


(For the repair, No More Nails did not really help - there is not enough surface area to reconnect the piece sturdily.)
