Why not use ballscrews on the X-axis, but spin the ballnut instead of the screw. I know it's a bit more work to set this up, but it removes the resonance issues and greatly reduces the rotating mass...
I'm doing this on my router, just with threaded rod not ballscrews:
One of those on each side of the gantry.
