This is a user to user forum, Apple is not here, only other users like yourself.
No, the iPhone X lacks the hardware, RAM and CPU to run iOS 17. Nobody can wave a magic wand and make it run on it.
Apple will not go back and support a vintage device like the iPhone X.
If you need a newer iOS version, get a newer iPhone, does not have to be a brand new one. Anything from an iPhone XS onward will support iOS 18.
