Wow you're correct, I can't find any way to do it either, however I can tell you that I've never had to calibrate my X52.. period.  I've seen other people with this issue that corrected it by installing it into an externally powered USB hub.  You can also try turning down the brightness of all the LEDs to help it to use less power.

Click the windows start button and look on the right side for "devices and printers". That is where my controllers show up.

I do not believe there is a way to calibrate in windows.
