algebra precalculus - Nested Square Roots $5^0+sqrt{5^1+sqrt{5^2+sqrt{5^4+sqrtdots}}}$

How would one go about computing the value of $X$, where




$X=5^0+ \sqrt{5^1+\sqrt{5^2+\sqrt{5^4+\sqrt{5^8+\sqrt{5^{16}+\sqrt{5^{32}+\dots}}}}}}$



I have tried the standard way of squaring then trying some trick, but nothing is working. I have also looked at some nested radical previous results, but none seem to be of the variety of this problem. Can anyone come up with the answer? Thank
