If your thinking along the lines of fooling software/games into thinking your 1080 is an 1060 it wont work
Hardware ID (not the human readable name ie: GTX 1080) presents capability to driver the driver then tells the software what capabilities your GPU has
so simply changing it's human readable name to GTX 1060 from GTX 1080 wont do a damn thing and even if you could change the hardware ID to that of a GTX 1060 all you'll end up doing is bricking the card as there are way to many other things that are different
your best bet is to just buy a cheap GTX 1060 instead
