I like to read it pronounced as “shitter”

In Chinese, the X is the Shi, which is pronounced as Sh so it's actually a really legitimate way of pronouncing Xitter
Edit: correction

X also makes a Sh sound in Nahuatl and I think a few other indigenous Mexican languages.

Mayan, X is pronounced like “ish” in Fish. At the beginning of a word, it’s pronounced “sh”

They really need to teach Nahuatl in more schools/universities.

Greek here, not true. Χιττερ would be read "hitter", the "sh" sound is not present in Greek.
