I dunno. I've never really seen Thor get affected by an energy attack from behind the Hammer while bracing. Granted, BB's scream is an entirely different level altogether. Thor being able to EASILY reflect Phoenix's attack and absorb Annihiulus' CCR attack (from WITHIN the Negative Zone where it is strongest) shows that it can deal with some pretty high end stuff.
From feats of Thor surviving high level attacks while NOT braced behind the hammer (such as energy attacks from Celestials), I say he survives the scream more often than not. I say 8/10 of the time.

Thor can block a lightspeed attack from greater than 10ft away (not closer though).With that said, my argument is that Thor can't block nor absorb the scream. He can create a barrier shield but the problem is whether he can erect one in time. Common sense says no.
Well, I also doubt that he can erect a full sized barrier in time. But this really isn't the only way he's shown that he can absorb/deflect energy attacks. Bracing behind the hammer has proven effective many times. And yes, he CAN absorb/deflect energy attacks by simply bracing behind it. In fact, it can be argued that this has proven more effective against some high end energy attacks. I theorize that he's only really needed to use the spinning hammer move to minimize the collateral damage in the area or to prevent the attack harming ppl around him or simply writers/artists forgetting that he can actually BRACE behind the hammer.
Thor wins 8/10! 🙂
