If you really can't change the script (and hence can't add a #! line),
you are stuck with running "zsh ./x.sh" wherever you call the script, or
some equivalent of that.  The decision about which interpreter to run
for a file that isn't executable is made by the operating system, so
the's no way of changing it at the user level.  So the question is
really about how you're calling the script and how much you can change
at that point.
