I don't have a solution that's not essentially your own script, but
FWIW if you install the moreutils package, the following Bash
one-liner will do the job and is what I use:

crontab -l | tail +4 | vipe | crontab -

I haven't bothered writing this as a script, and just have it in
memory as the command to use. Or, more accurately, the above without
the `tail` part, as I use Vim as my editor and just enter "d3d" as
soon as the window launches. If I were going to write a script,
though, I'd include that to save those extra three keystrokes…
