When my Paladin with a whopping 8 Int is able to figure out how to defeat Shemshime before everyone else just because the context is provided plain as day in a children's book yet the rest of the party's only thought process was "keep hitting it" with their 12+ Int scores.
Just because your character is dumb doesn't automatically mean they're incapable of having a good idea.

Also an INT of 8 isn't really particularly dumb - you're one standard deviation below the average person. You're basically not that book smart, maybe complex calculations take you a long time and you have to put a bit more effort into academical learning than the average student, but you're not a drooling idiot who can't understand cause and effect.
