I have read that some people may not actually be allergic to kiwi itself, but to a byproduct of a chemical reaction between the kiwi and a metal spoon. Have you tried eating one without a metal utensil?

Why would you need a spoon? It's all edible except the hard bit at one end (which is probably edible too, but too pointy to risk it) and the hairy bit at the other (which is almost certainly edible, but eww, hairy). The skin is where the vitamins are.

Just clean it to remove the insecticides and herbicides and whatnot, and bite chunks off the thing until only those two bits (and quite a lot of juice all over your fingers and mouth) are left...

You mean split it open and eat it like those dudes who eat watermelon competitively, yeah?

No need to split it, just bite into it.
