Low int doesn't mean "idiot who can never figure anything out". Bonky sounds like they are good at fighting, so identifying an enemy's weak point sounds totally in character. Maybe state it differently ("Bonky see shiny crown make bad guy better. We get rid of shiny crown and win!") but "your character is stupid so they can never figure anything out is bad TTRPG.
Or as other people in the thread have put it, maybe have a only want to smash the crown for a different reason, and then have the players see the Enemy’s reaction to a massive barbarian trying to make their forehead concave
I don't know if I'd correctly interpret the bad guys reaction to the barbarian attempting to "make their forehead concave" would be to assume it was because of the crown.
"I see the baddie duck the barbarian's axe and hold onto his crown so I shout to the party, 'thats it! aim for his weak spot! It's his face!'"
