try:

grant delete, insert, update, select, reference on country to MYUSER with grant option;

-or-

create role test;
grant delete, insert, update, select, reference on country to test;
grant test to MYUSER;

The only user authorized to change table structures is SYSDBA or the user that creates the object, without exceptions. If you are not the creator (owner) or SYSDBA you can't modify table structures.
