I'm not too well-versed about ether, but I do know as you mentioned that etherdelta got hacked. So due to safety reasons and my ignorance about ETH I'd rather not go that route. Is there any other way? Maybe through Bitshares and then send that EOS to MEW - after it's sent to MEW register on the EOS.io website with a vpn?

Here is a step by step guide on how to use Etherdelta I made a while back in case your interested.

If you create a toss-away MEW wallet, link/import that to etherdelta, buy your coins and then move them from your toss-away MEW wallet over to your main MEW wallet, the risk overall is extremely low of you having any issues/losses and your main wallet would remain 100% safe. I personally haven't used Bitshares so I can't speak much about that part. As for registering EOS check out the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yBhXG6ig3M which goes over all the needed steps (the guy is a US citizen so whatever he does should work the same for you).
Sidenote: I am Canadian and personally got my EOS from Kraken without issue, but I am not sure if US citizens can use that exchange or not (its UK based).
