Your assumption, that x-rays are emitted because only they can escape, is a bit off.
X-rays are emitted because of the high-energy interactions involving the neutron stars gravitational field, magnetic field and the charged particles interacting with the fields.
The gravitational field will doppler shift any electromagnetic radiation emitted by the star, be it radio wave or gamma ray.

Neutron stars will radiate a wide spectrum of emr, from radio waves up. The highest frequency waves (x-ray) are probably due to charged particles highly accelerated in the intense magnetic fields of the star.

Xrays are not subject to gravity. Sound good? It did to me.
They are able to sneak out of the holes at the polar caps.
Global warming sure is a *****
