Caveman Forehead Plastic Surgery
I have a large forehead. It also slants down similar to a caveman with a very thick brow area.

Correcting "Caveman" appearance: Male Brow Reduction
Improvements you suggested can be made by burring down the thick bone beneath the brows.

Because your hairline is receding, a concurrent hair transplant to establish a new hairling just in front of the brow incision will prevent the scar from standing out in the open scalp.

Frontal bossing and management of a prominent brow.
Yes there is a method to perform this. I do not want to imply or insinuate but it is commonly performed in transgender individual seeking to reduce the prominent brow that is typical of males and less common in females. We call this condition frontal bossing or a promininent supraorbital rim.
Your best bet is to seek a craniofacial surgeon with experience in this technique. It is somewhat complex.
