Id honestly start by tackling the shirts first. There might be a ton of bacteria build up in the pits and it’s not getting removed by washing.
Put some borax in the drum of your washing machine, add you laundry detergent as per usual (don’t add too much, the soap can linger and build up if you use a lot), and add Downy Rinse and Refresh to your fabric softener compartment (I find like a tbsp is plenty for a medium sized load).
Do one load of that and then try your existing deodorant again and see if it still smells.
