Yea, same problem here. I have very nice earnings so it would be a pitty to postpose the monthly earnings on one hand, and to pay the damn thieves 20$ every month on the other hand, so the solution: I lived couple of years in europe and I managed to revive my bank account there for this purpose. the adsense earnings go there every month by bank wire - no commissions, no checks. I withdraw the money in cash from every Israeli ATM using a credit card which I issued with that European bank account. If you can open a European bank account and link it to your adsense account (they want proof), you will spare the financial inconvenience of living in the primitive middle east
I'm half Jordanian and half Macedonian "its next to Greece" i might do that we have bank wire here but i don't know why google dont support sending it here 0.0
