this is something you need to deal with asap
right now is an extremely crucial age for kittens and socialization
if she doesnt become used to being handled by people now then this is going to develop into behavioral problems that will persist for a very long time
yes she might scream and throw a fit but as long as she is not in any physical pain then you absolutely should continue handling her, it will take a while but eventually she will calm down and not freak out so much
if shes old enough then definitely try coaxing her with meaty treats or things like that

This, but especially the last sentence. That is extremely important. You have to let her come to you and encourage her to. She will not get over it and could get worse otherwise. Might take patience. Treats and toys are very helpful. She will only learn to trust on her terms but you can help her to do so that way. Get close but not too close to upset her. Stay low so she isn't intimidated. Reach your hand out but let her approach on her time. These are all classic methods for cats/kittens that are anti-social from trauma (or just disgusting in general)
