If you're cutting the shell so you have a large enough hole to remove the meat, it's not to hard to clean out the meat.
To make get it out easier, heat it in an oven at about 200 degrees for 10-20 minutes. Just take it out before it starts to burn. Then the meat separates from the shell and comes out very easily.

If you're trying to keep the whole shell intact, I can think of a couple of options, but I haven't tried these yet.
Punch out the eye, and leave it on an anthill for a while. Let the ants remove the meat.
Punch out two eyes, use your drill with some sort of attachment to grind up the meat and rinse it out. Maybe something like a wire brush would work well.
