Presumably the basic principle is similar to that of the P61 therefore I assume that it has blocked with dried ink - an ultrasonic cleaner may be of use to shift the crud.
Other than that, I have no idea - again it might be possible to dismantle the cartridge in a similar fashion to the P61.
If all fails, adjust with a very large hammer !

Not so easy. Many X-Pens were not made to be disassembled -- everything is sealed shut. If you can get inside, the capillary unit is not like the Parker 61's, which is designed to last. Instead, it's filled with some sort of fabric stuffing that can't be cleaned very well and which shrinks with repeated wetting and drying.
