Why not just keep the minus symbol with your number? Then, I think you don't care if it's positive or negative, you just print it.

res = r'X(-?\d+\.\d*)

>>> re.search(r'X(-?\d+\.\d*)', "Z1.371 Y-1.279 X-0.0003").groups()[0]
'-0.0003'
>>> re.search(r'X(-?\d+\.\d*)', "Z1.371 Y-1.279 X0.0003").groups()[0]
'0.0003'
