-> I think the best way is to sneak underneath one and then grab onto it
-> somehow from the bottom... Those eye's aren't too flexible.

That's the way my party did it.  Actually, we stumbled onto one and 
nearly lost two party members before we got out of there--doing only
a small bit of damage to the beholder in the process.

But then we regrouped, and went in again--better prepared this time.
One of our mages "invisibled" the hack-and-slash types, and wearing
the sum total of the party's Elven boots (3 pairs, I believe), they
positioned themselves around and underneath the beast.  The magic-users
then lead a frontal assault/diversion while all the fighters did heavy
damage before they "reappeared".  By then the result was academic.
