If I run the printer headless, the wifi connects easiy and immediately. As soon as I add the BTT screen, the log files go crazy and I have to connect manually. any insight?

I have tried different USB cables. and unhooking it makes everything fine again.

That is odd, while I have not seen that issue, mine will just shut off and be black. I tap it, unplug and replug it and it is still black. Wait a day or 2 and it works again. If you have a TV or other screen with HDMI input try to connect it to that and see if it gives the same results. If it does, its a Pi issue, if not its a screen issue. If the screen is the issue and different USB ports and cables don't fix it, it may be a bad screen. You could also try to power the HDMI5 with a USB cable power supply instead of off the Pi. The USB only provides power and touch input. The HDMI provides the graphics. You will lose touch, but it may work fine powered from just a power block/wall plug
