I put u-boot on the SD card, then set the SD card R/O using the hardware switch on the SD card (i don't know if it's a standard thing, but mine have one).

Then I put the OS on USB and boot from there. SD cards stopped dying :)

fun fact: read only switch on SDcards is a dummy piece of plastic, it just flips a real switch in the card slot letting the controller know your wish.
