Then it would have to be a sphere. (and I tried things like getOneIntersectingObject already. Same problem)

There is also 'getObjectsInRange'.

What about using a different collision method, like 'getObjectsInRange', for example?

Guess I did! Actually, I meant to suggest using 'getNeighbours', which can be used to make a variable size square or diamond hitbox.

But a square shape can't be higher than wide.

No, it cannot. However, there are other things you can do using one or more of these methods. For example, you can relocate the actor, temporarily, and check collision at various nearby locations using one of them. Here is one possible way: 
if (collisionLow(10, 25) || collisionHigh(10, 25))

// with these methods
private boolean collisionLow(int down, int range)
{
    setLocation(getX(), getY()+down);
    boolean collision = getNeighbours(range, true, null);
    setLocation(getX(), getY()-down);
    return collision;
}
// and
private boolean collisionHigh(int up, int range)
{
    setLocation(getX(), getY()-up);
    boolean collision = getNeighbours(range, true, null);
    setLocation(getX(), getY()+up);
    return collision;
}
This would check an area 70 high and 50 wide.
