I have done a couple more tests where it is grinding and I push on the cable and it stops the grinding and does the indexing and beeps normally. So I think before I replace the cable I'll release it from the tight bend they have created the way it is zip tied to the motor cable and try to relieve the stress on it and see if that works consistently. My printer is only 2 weeks old but has about 15 prints on it so far. That back and forth from the initial indexing puts a lot of stress on the x-axis cables. I sent Qidi the video, maybe something for them to address in future mods.
