I usually just give up any sense of civility and get my face in there. I have yet to find an efficient way of eating mango that does not result in X-rated mangolingus action with my beard dripping with mango juice.
Cut the sides off when the pit is horizontal; that’ll let you get the largest cuts without cutting into the pit. You can then bite into the flesh of the pieces you cut off with minimal mess and either bite into the flesh along the pit or cut the flesh off the pit.
Your hands will probably still get a bit messy but your face will largely be spared.
