A couple grease zerks on the rear susp on my Xtra-10 seem to be glogged. No grease will go in to the shafts, rather it all comes out around the side of the zerk. Does anybody have any solutions for this?
Grease Zerk plugged up? No grease going in

push it in with a awl or small screwdriver, or unscrew them and clean them

Yup, make sure, which I'm sure you have that your grease gun is working properly as well. Meaning the end that goes on the zerk is actuall seated on the zerk itself. I would bet a bogus zerk or simply just clogged. Tak'em out, clean'em up and that's it, or just install new ones if you have a zerk assortment kit.

If it's doing it on more than one, you might want to check/replace the tip on your grease gun. Napa has an adjustable tip that will tighten up on worn zerks.
If not, take a look at this handy tool. Scroll down the page past the spark plug adaptors. Look for "Zerk Blaster". They work pretty well.

You might also want to run these to protect from water/corrosion
