I know this is an old post but I'll answer anyway.
The XZ gear and a standard bravo gear are the same other than the XZ gear uses the larger X XZ and XR input shaft. You will need a new input shaft, as well as as the X, XR retainer plate and seal. There is really no point in changing all this over so you can run the X gears, they are no stronger than a standard bravo gear. The strength increase in the X/XZ upper comes from the better steel tower. So unless you had a steel tower added, you are gaining nothing but a headache to reassemble correctly.
