A screen for the ZX-M should fit.

Below are instructions from a pdml member:

"If it's anything like the ZX-M, it's painfully easy.
This works for the ZX-M: Take the lens off the camera,
and at the front of the focus screen there is a gap in
the metal frame that holds it in. Stick a small screw
driver, tweezers, dental tool, etc. in there, and
gently pull towards you. The metal frame will unhook,
allowing you to drop and clean the focus screen.
Reverse the process to put the screen back in the
camera."

The ZX-7 works the same way, and so it is probably the
same for the ZX-5n.
