So far I desolder everything from the bottm of the board but I can't remove the bases for the analog stick.

I been at it for 5 hours!! This is inasane!

Are you using a desoldering pump or wick?

Something to try out would be get somebody to help you by holding the board still, you heat up the solder until it goes to molten solder, then suck it up using the desoldering pump.

Another thing is to do that to all the connectors for the analog bases then carefully pry them up and wherever it gets stuck, desolder it a bit more.
