So I bought a used xbox one and the controller it came with has a jammed A-button. It isnt sticky or anything. It is just stuck there and wont come up. Is there a way to fix it? Preferably without opening it.
Is this a good question?

Twist it, rock it, glue the end of a screw driver to it, and pull.

Open it up, clean the button, as well as the Controller Conductive Silicon Rubber Button Pads ABXY with Isopropyl alcohol. This will solve the problem

non-gel-based alcohol or the American Fix All: Wd-40. I don’t own $59-89 controllers. I’d rather go Virginia Wolf than spend that much even if it had an “Old Fashion” interface. Don’t use gel (hand sanitizer)! That’s like using J-E-L-L-O mix). 90% isopropyl can clean without eating your gear!

Anything above 4k (which you must be 3-4 inches away to notice) is all marketing garbage. Ask real eye doctors. Ask 3 dozen. Don’t fall for “the higher the numbers the more I can brag” anymore.

If you're absolutely sure there's nothing sticky gumming up the button than there is a good chance the "conductive rubber pad" between the button and the controller's motherboard is going bad. Same thing happened to me.
First you're gonna wanna tape all the the buttons over, that way they don't fall out when you carefully unscrew the case of the controller.
From there slowly lift the cover of the controller and remove the rubber pad that's positioned where your A button should be. Push it down a few times, if it's anything like mine, you'll notice that the "plunger" will sometimes stay pressed and not return to how it should be.
Fortunetly, this is a very inexpensive part to replace. You'll spend more on shipping than you will on the part itself.
Hope this helps you and anyone else who reads this.
