The phone companies ARE able to stop the caller ID spoofing with a simple notch filter placed at the right point on the line, or packet filter on the right place on the firewall.
They could easily force businesses to give a valid return number on their calls and prevent jamming based caller ID spoofing, but instead they don't want to because these calls mean more money for them.

There are also likely phone system commands to quickly verify the incoming phone number a second time utilizing out of band signals. If how to derive how to do this, one might be able to detect spoofed caller ID and retrieve the actual source line information.
I wonder if either of these technologies could be used to detect robocalls.
Personally if I had the time and ability to write such a system, what I would do to incoming robocalls is go and route them (and pressing one if it is necessary) to an AI voice system just smart enough to pull the person's leg for a few hours making the person run in circles trying to explain the deal to what they think is a person who can't understand it. You know, robo the robo-call.
