Undefine existing value and define new value in session.
This also keep the value same since nothing is changing.

| .screenrc

    unsetenv SSH_AUTH_SOCK
    setenv SSH_AUTH_SOCK $HOME/.screen/ssh-auth-sock.$USERNAME

Each call of screen command will overwrite the existing symlink.

| .bashrc

    _ssh_auth_save() {
            ln -sf "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK" "$HOME/.screen/ssh-auth-sock.$USERNAME"
    }
    alias screen='_ssh_auth_save ; screen'

Now add key to your session with “ssh-add”.
That should do it.
