Default Do spin-stabilized satellites have attitude drift?

Do spin-stabilized satellites have attitude drift requiring
periodic correction?

If not, why? Even inertial navigation platforms have drift.

If yes, how do they correct their attitude? Thrusters?
Reaction wheels?

Sorry if this is a re-post; for some reason my previous attempt
never made it
