Well, the answer is

x=2, d= -1


Checking:

pp = d^2 + 270 d Root[1 - 270 #1^3 - 5832 #1^5 + 3645 #1^6 &, 1]^3 - 
   2916 x Root[1 - 270 #1^3 - 5832 #1^5 + 3645 #1^6 &, 1]^5 + 
   3645 Root[1 - 270 #1^3 - 5832 #1^5 + 3645 #1^6 &, 1]^6;

FullSimplify[pp /. {d -> -1, x -> 2}]

0

How did I find it? Well, let 

w = Root[3645*#1^6 - 5832*#1^5 - 270*#1^3 + 1 & , 1]; 

Then w has to be a root of 

In[5]:= ff = pp /. w -> z

Out[5]= d^2+270 d z^3-2916 x z^5+3645 z^6

On the other hand,

In[6]:= gg = MinimalPolynomial[w, z]

Out[6]= 3645 z^6-5832 z^5-270 z^3+1

Hence ff has to divide gg. Now

In[7]:= PolynomialQuotientRemainder[ff, gg, z]

Out[7]= {1,d^2+(270 d+270) z^3+(5832-2916 x) z^5-1}

And from this we see that d= -1 and x = 2.
