I won't claim any expert technique, but I pretty much do a variation on what you do:
--slice the two sides off --cut grids into the flesh, but not the skin --slice off the two remaining narrow bits of peel --cut chunks into the flesh of these bits, but not the skin --press skin convex-to-concave on the two sides, eat chunks --bend the other two bits like orange segments, eat --pick up the remaining piece with the pit in it, either by the remaining bits of skin on the ends, or peeling them off first --eat the remaining flesh off the pit.
It's not particularly graceful but it does get everything edible off the fruit. Also, it's a lot longer to write than to do.
