I've had decent luck with using a knife to score a complete circle 3 or 4 times around, not actually cutting all the way through, and the firmly twisting the insulation you want to remove, it usually tears neatly along the score, and can be slipped off.
I've only done this with 6" lengths, it tends to get harder with longer bits to remove, but you could repeat the procedure a few times as necessary.
