Some people might say "walking a fine line".

(Another shrug) It seems to be an alternative. There are lots of the 'eggshells' version in American dictionaries, so I don't think that it's a US/UK difference.

(Shrug) My wife and I say "walking on eggs," not "eggshells." A US/UK thing? A regionalism?

I agree. 'Walking on eggshells' is the expression you want. The 'fine line' expression is used slightly differently.
