I'm playing Minecraft on Xbox 360 and I can't find the End Portal. I have tried every trick I can think of, including the xray glitch, and recreating the world in Creative mode to dig out the entire stronghold and the surrounding areas. I have found nothing and I am totally lost on where it could be.

It's possible but unlikely. End Portals do spawn in strongholds in the console version of Minecraft, so it's not an issue of version. It's possible, however, that the portal was overwritten by something else in world generation (a dungeon in precisely the same place, or a mineshaft running through your stronghold).
What is more likely, though, is you haven't searched the entire thing. Strongholds are quite extensive, so it can take a long time to go through the whole thing (speaking from experience, I have made bases in strongholds a few times. They can be huge).
Unfortunately, since you are on the console version, ender eyes only point you to the stronghold itself, not the portal, so the only real advice I can give you is to keep looking, and clearly mark where you have been. I like to put torches on the right-hand side of corridors as I move through them, so I know if I am backtracking or not.
You should be able to use more Eyes of Ender from within the fortress to pinpoint the spot where the Ender Portal is. When it floats in place when you throw it, dig up and down from where it hovers and you should find the portal.

The conventional method for finding an End Portal is to use Eyes of Ender (Combine Blaze Powder with an Ender Pearl). When used, they will float up in the direction of the closest End Portal, then after a few seconds, either fall back down, or break.
Once you get within a certain range of an End Portal, the Eyes of Ender will then float down toward the ground. This is where you can start digging, as the Eye of Ender will (generally) indicate you are directly above the portal.
As for using the "x-ray glitch" and "digging out the entire area", an End Portal is a rare occurrence. If you managed to find one near your spawn (say, within 64 chunks) you'd be incredibly lucky.
