They're currency locked.

Is there no way round it so you can change your currency then change it back or not??

Physically move to a country that uses Euros, with a billing address from the new country and make a purchase using Euros.

Changing countries also has a 90 day cooldown from changing it again.

Nope. This change was done to combat tech support scams.

Are there country restrictions on Steam Wallet Codes?

Yes. We have made some changes to how Steam Wallet Codes are redeemed on Steam, as part of our ongoing effort to reduce scams like the ones explained here[consumer.ftc.gov]. These changes should not impact regular customers who enjoy using Steam wallet codes they purchase at retail in their local currency.

Each Steam User Account is associated with a specific currency, which you can see in the top right corner of your Steam Client. Going forward, you may encounter an error if you try to activate a Steam Wallet Code issued in a different currency than the one of your Steam User Account.

If you have questions about your ability to redeem Steam Wallet Codes, please contact Steam Support. If you are concerned about the legitimacy of a Steam code you have purchased, you should ask your retailer.

Furthermore, attempting to change currency region fraudulenty by disguising your true location of residence using VPNs and proxies is a violation of the Steam Subscriber Agreement, Section 3 A.

You agree that you will not use IP proxying or other methods to disguise the place of your residence, whether to circumvent geographical restrictions on game content, to order or purchase at pricing not applicable to your geography, or for any other purpose. If you do this, Valve may terminate your access to your Account.

You cannot do this. The only legitimate way is to migrate to a european country. The wallet card in Euro denomination is not intended for UK customers.
