Consider keeping the 20% weight on assets x2-x4, but varying the weight on assets x1 and x5. Compute the portfolio-variance-minimizing weight on each of these assets, subject to the no-short-sales constraint (weight cannot be negative). Note that the total weight on these two assets together must be 40% as the other three add to 60%.
