How far is the UV Bulb from the lizards basking area and how old is the bulb?

Avoid the egg, for a healthy animal eggs are ok, but for a lizard having issue with calcium eggs should be avoid. The contain biotine that binds to calcium and makes it so the lizard cannot absorb it.

Try to vary the diet more avoid bugs through. Try some gizzards or liver it will help with the calcium absorption. If he doesn't eat it then just try again later. Do not give in and keep giving egg, they will find a favorite and won't stop, however they will get hungry enough they will try other foods.
