I have a SX500 IS and trying to find a way to add a adapter for 55mm lens filters.

The camera has no threads for a filter

Don't own it but third party adapters are available: presumably you want 55mm for filters you have, but I don't see that available, so might mean purchasing to fit.

Canon Powershot SX500 is Filter Adapter

Amazon also offers a big kit of 67mm adds including telephoto lens with an adapter for U$129, though badly rated:

I'd say the tiny weight of this kind of adapter and a CPL or ND filter isn't going to burden the mechanism - certainly doesn't on my SX10.   A lens would be a different matter.
