Considerably harder than I thought finding a load E or similar tire in a smaller size…

Not really, though not back in the day. A number of e rated choices in st tires,  past few years.

Funny you should mention that.  I employ structural engineers and one of them did suggest a steel beam would be lower profile than the glulam header... but the garage door people thought the garage door itself (even if you went with a 12" radius track vs a typical 15" radius) would end up being lower than the opening.  

I've modified structures in the past using various means. Steel will offer the shallowest option for you, and an engineer can calculate it for you. There are alternative garage doors (barn style operation designed to look just like what you have, for instance); that would eliminate overhead obstructions inside the garage as well. Alternatively, you could  approach the garage from the side wall near the front corner, if you have the space to make that approach. But construction these days of any sort is not only prohibitively expensive, it's also frustrating and slow due to lack of materials and parts.
