Just an FYI, Microsoft's Xbox 360 controller driver does not have a dead zone option. Not sure why as all joysticks seem to develop problems as they age. Oh well.
A good alternative is third party software like Xpadder (which I use), JoyToKey, or Pinnacle Game Profiler. Google them for more info.
Or just modify the INI files like the Dev suggested ;^)
EDIT:
From Steam forums:
Having Controller Deadzone Issues?
Some people have issues with controllers behaving as if there is no deadzone. There is supposed to be one. I have never been able to reproduce the issue on the controllers I had access to: wired xbox 360 controller, dualshock4, xb1, steam controller.
It seems like most people with the issue had 360 controllers. My guess is that some 360 controllers have deadzones that are even larger (perhaps through wear and tear).
Useful infomation here would be what controller you are using.
From a previous thread:
There is a hidden way to adjust the deadzones. If you browse the game directory on Windows and Linux there should be a profile.json that gets generated once you start playing. You can add "leftStickDeadzone", "rightStickDeadzone", and "triggerActivation" with values from 0.0 to 1.0. Follow the format of the file and watch out for the commas. So you may end up with something like:
"sensitivityNear": 0.100000,
"sensitivityFar": 0.250000,
"sensitivityCoarse": 0.600000,
"leftStickDeadzone" : 0.24,
"rightStickDeadzone" : 0.27,
"unlocks": ...
Those numbers should be what XInput recommends for the 360 controller (by default we used 0.25 for both). My experience with the 360 controller is that the deadzones are massive (over double that for PS4/XB1 controllers) and it doesn't like to recenter properly (and the dpad is a crime against nature). In Windows itself, there is a menu for Game Controller settings which visualizes the controller input as well as a calibratation tool that I've never used.
The profile.json file is cloud saved, so you may gets prompts about syncing it if you edit it while the game is not running. These setting are applied to any controller used.
On Mac, the file should be the Application Support instead of the install directory unless the app is sandbox (only the Apple App Store version should be sandboxed), in which case it will probably be somewhere in ~/Library/Containers/ (exactly where depends on who signed it and with what settings).
END QUOTE
If this helps, let us know what values you are using so we can change the default values.

I added
"leftStickDeadzone" : 0.25,
"rightStickDeadzone" : 0.25,
right above "controlSchemeTank": 2, and it worked perfectly. Remeber to back up your original profile.json just in case.
