the thing is, almost anyone could use a nasal stent at night to help them breathe. Most people probably have swollen turbinates. So almost anyone could probably get a prescription for it.

The fact that you need a prescription says it all,its classed as a medical device by the manufacturer. Nobody can just ask their doctor to provide a prescription for a medical device for them without a consultation and the doctor agreeing that they need it.
Its not like private insurance in the US, the taxpayer is responsible for picking up the tab and a doctor providing a prescription for anything without an examination is asking for trouble.

But, do you think a european ent clinic could possibly work with me and order one and then send it to me in the USA? that would be fantastic. I'm super desperate to get a good night's sleep

Why dont you just start emailing a few private ENT's to find out?
