Disclaimer: You might void your warranty and you're on your own. But I
want to tell you what's also technically feasible: If the bootloader is
unlocked you can root it through fastboot.

If you find a working kernel image (You might find them on
unlocker/developer forums for similar devices, e.g. look for other ZTE
devices with a JellyBean system underneath). You can then go to fastboot
and boot this kernel image via usb ("fastboot boot <image>"). If you
happen to also find a suitable "su" binary, you can copy it to your
phone and reboot back into the normal system. Executing su might give
you root now :)

Judging from personal experience, I would say it will be something would
you download and flash via USB.
